GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Oken Boss. OKEN BOSS (5) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing fifth over 920m at this track. Can bounce right back to the winners' circle. KISLING (9) built on a nice second two starts back with a win over 1600m at Kasamatsu five weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. MANNO LIGHTNING (3) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is a major player again. HAKUSAN AI (6) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when 12th over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Out of her depth in JRA meetings recently but look for an improved run here.
