GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Kitakarakitatenshi and Kashino Mercury will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. NICE JACKS (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Can go on with it. KITAKARAKITATENSHI (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BULLDOG GIRL (4) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and in the mix. KASHINO MERCURY (8) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a head over 1400m here last time. Worth including.
