GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Good early pressure with Kisekinokonokiseki or Techno Melon likely to take up the running. T M TENJIN (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YUI AVENIR (1) was well fancied last start over 1300m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Great chance to atone. LA VESTALE (2) was safely held last start when 8 lengths from the winner in fifth at this track and distance after jumping from a wide gate. Should improve. GO GO KOKURA (11) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job.
