GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Shark Ryusei, Mild Evening and Edel Ritter and they'll have company. BOW VOGUE (5) was fourth last time out over 1800m at this track after a win at Sonoda at the previous outing. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. TOSANO SHUJINKO (7) is racing well, scoring two back at Kochi before finishing just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1600m at Kochi. Seiya Tatara who has three wins when partnering stays on. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. MILD EVENING (2) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Sonoda to kick off the last campaign. One to consider. GO GO TSUYOSHI (8) won at Sonoda two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
