GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure with A Shin Jolt, Chuwa Spring and Life Full Smiles leading the charge. A SHIN JOLT (1) went to the lead from the low draw last time out and was still there on straightening, eventually finishing third over 1400m at this track. Will go forward again and looks tough to beat. ZERO HOUR (8) is fresh from a spell of three months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Ohi over 1600m. In a different yard now. Solid chance first-up for the new barn. MARUKA RAPID (3) turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1400m at Nagoya after a nice win the start prior. Won't find this as tough so she can bounce back. LIFE FULL SMILES (5) finished third two runs back at Nagoya then improved last time out to score by a nose as favourite over 1400m at Nagoya. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
