GOING: G

Race 12 1500m

Track: GOOD      

From the inside gate Takichan Go has enough dash to lead, joined by Raipachi and Mina Tierna pressing on from wider out. RAIPACHI (6) returns from a break of ten weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 2000m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. TAKICHAN GO (1) finished second two runs back at Kawasaki then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Senno Ridge scored on her last time and retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. MINA TIERNA (12) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MOMO DREAM (8) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1500m at Kawasaki, finishing 14 lengths back in 13th. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
