GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Hakusan Pioneer and Onushi Nanimono up front, pressured by Meiner Cisneros and Shoga Fukukitaru. ONUSHI NANIMONO (4) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1500m at this track last time. Form here over this distance is very solid. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. MEINER CISNEROS (2) did well when resuming over 1500m at this track last start, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Has three wins when second-up and has plenty of upside with the run under his belt. Expected to feature. HAKUSAN PIONEER (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. H Yoshihara gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Finds a tougher race but a better run will not surprise. COEUR DE REINE (3) finished a 7 length fifth when resuming last start over 1500m at this track. Second up record is very strong. Can do better than last.
