GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Nanan is expected to burn across and lead from the wide alley. EPOCA RINA (7) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track to make it three victories in a row. Winning rider Osamu Shimohara retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. KICHI FIGHTER (5) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 6 lengths. Has a decent record at this track. Sure to go well. NANAN (10) is knocking on the door after just missing last time over 1400m at this track. F Komaki who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Has claims on his best figures. WINGS ALL (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
