GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. BIG SANJO (6) has been out of the money recently including last start when fifth over 1700m at this track two weeks ago. Certainly worth another chance. ANFANG (7) finished third last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the final stages. Watch for another barnstorming finish. TERUKEN YUMIKAGURA (10) finished eighth at her last appearance over 1500m at this track on September 16. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. METCHA HATTORI (9) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort a ninth over 1500m at this track. Can run a better race here.
