GOING: G

Race 1 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Off the inside draw Nishino Babangida should boot up and lead at a solid tempo. BUZZ RIGHT MIRROR (10) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. No reason he cannot salute again. NISHINO BABANGIDA (1) was safely held when fourth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a good win on debut at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can return to winning ways. TAISEI FRANK (11) finished fifth two runs back at Kasamatsu then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. CASA MILA (4) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1400m at Urawa. This looks a nice race so expect her to finish closer.
