GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Sakura D'or to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. A race of few chances. RAIKA (6) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last time. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. SAKURA D'OR (14) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Open to further improvement and looms as the obvious threat. BLUE METEOR (4) did a good job last time out at the second run of the campaign when he worked home well and finished 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. KOYU NIPOPO NIKO (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
