GOING:

Race 1 820m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Aussenseiter heading them off. AUSSENSEITER (8) put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell at Himeji and this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and rates a leading contender. GRAY RULE (1) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 820m here. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WELCOME KIRISHIMA (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 820m at this circuit. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. TECHNO HAPPY (11) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 820m at this venue, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Finds a nice race and can bounce right back.
