GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Tanabata to take charge ahead of Jun Firenze at a good tempo. TANABATA (9) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Masaaki Ohata who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Sure to run well. JUN FIRENZE (3) started at $8.90 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 2000m at this track. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. NAMURA MICHEAL (2) got well back over 1400m at Kasamatsu last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 12th. Finds the right race this time and can feature. KING OF THE NILE (4) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was 11th over 1700m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
