GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Angel Star and Fresh No Ue kicking up to hold out the next wave. MINAMIJUJISEI (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1300m at this track last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Winning rider Yoshiki Yamada stays aboard and he is a leading contender. MINCE PIE (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. NOWA NA (9) is a three-year-old filly who has filled a minor placing just once in five runs. Failed to threaten when 22 lengths from the winner in seventh first up last start over 1400m at this track. Best form augers well for this. RINEN FLASH (11) is a 10-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at this track over 1400m last time out after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of ability. Keep safe.
