GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Speed assured from Hokuzan Gold, A Shin Licht and Win Reserve pressing on ahead of Goody Kan Waru. WIN RESERVE (9) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 2000m at Himeji, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Should be in the finish. A QUI MIEUX MIEUX (3) speared to the lead from a wide alley before fading right out of it over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt last time. Sure to feature again against this opposition. MEISHO HIMEGOZE (11) settled well back then made a little ground and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1500m at Himeji two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Right in this. GOODY KAN WARU (4) finished fifth last start over 1500m at Himeji after racing on the pace for much of the way. Worth including.
