GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of early pace from A Tracks, Daijobanai and Crowd Noise vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. RIKEA SABLE (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back to back wins with a 2 length success over 1400m at this track last time. Was a winner at only try here and looks a key chance again. CHIKAPPA (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins and three minor placings from seven runs. Leading player again. GIGAS (7) finished seventh two runs back at Ohi then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths as public elect after being in contention on the turn over 1400m at Kawasaki. Going up a level this time but he can win again. A TRACKS (3) scored last start at Hanshin Dirt to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Down in class and capable of taking this out.
