GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Ichibamboshi and Gamila's Jackson. ICHIBAMBOSHI (2) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 1230m at Sonoda on October 24. Sure to make his presence felt. GAMILA'S JACKSON (5) finished tenth over 1400m at Sonoda at his most recent appearance on September 11. Has found the right race. NOT B ONE (10) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1230m at Sonoda. Will give backers a sight. WIN REVERENCE (8) finished 7 lengths adrift in eighth last time over 1400m at Sonoda in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
