GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Meisho Gorushi heading them off. MEISHO GORUSHI (6) got home by 3 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Tatsuya Nakajima who has five wins when partnering stays on. Going well and rates highly. SONG FOR YOU (7) finished 16th when resuming last start over 1200m at Fukushima. Will come on from that run and is well-placed to take this easier assignment out.NIKI (5) finished fifth last start over 1700m at this track. Has a very good record over today's journey with five wins from 10 starts. One of the likely contenders. MI HIJA DIVINA (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Plenty to like about her chances.
