GOING: G

Race 10 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Raziation, Yukiguni and Kaito King prominent. ONIASHI (5) is going well with six minor placings from seven starts this prep. Turned in another good effort last start when second over 1500m at this track after he was prominent throughout. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. RAZIATION (9) is close to a win with two recent placings, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Has never been out of the placings in five starts at this journey and is right in this. KUMANOKO (8) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. YUKIGUNI (12) scored last start at Kawasaki to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
