GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Cherry Russian taking up the running ahead of A Shin Temujin and Mukizu. A SHIN TEMUJIN (7) is a genuine five-year-old entire who resumed with a solid second last time out at this track over 1400m. Should be in the finish. MEINER ALAUDA (3) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten a neck. Has a solid record here at the distance and is expected to go very well. CHERRY RUSSIAN (10) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One to consider. TAISEI MY WAY (8) produced another moderate effort last start when 13 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1600m at Mizusawa. No surprise to see him in contention.
