GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. SWING BOY (8) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid third over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. MIKINO OBOE (2) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. SOIS TOI MEME (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Fitter and in the mix. BOMBONIERE (12) could only manage to finish 13th at her latest appearance over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Worth plenty of thought here in easier.
