GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Abenin Smile and Kokomo Rose leading from Pink Towel Chan. SHONEN JIDAI (4) returned from a two months break over 1500m last start and got the job done by 2.5 lengths at this track. Boasts four wins here. Should go well again. KOKOMO ROSE (2) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1500m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. KANEKOME SISTER (9) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh last start over 1400m at this track eight weeks ago. Expecting a better run. ROAR VENT FLARE (7) finished sixth over 2000m at this track at his most recent appearance on November 27. Minor claims.
