GOING:

SHINSAIBASHI STAKES 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Meisho Funkei probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. GARONNE (7) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Will be hard to hold out again. NAMURA ATOM (4) resumed last time out and finished third over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Big run likely. JUHANNUS (1) produced a fair effort when resuming from a spell last start, beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth over 1600m at this track. Koji Nishizuka has registered three minor placings when on board. Has winning claims on best figures. SUCCESS AI (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1600m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
