GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Little in the way of tactical speed so a moderate tempo is likely. MEISHO RISE (5) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Looks the one to beat. MEISHO KUMOJI (2) started at $6.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths at Himeji over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. HANDEN LAURIER (8) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at Himeji. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KINSHO WORLD (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 4 when beaten 8 lengths into fourth at Himeji over 1400m after being up on the pace until straightening. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
