GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

A strong tempo is assured with Kashino Tender and Nothing On You leading the charge. KASHINO TENDER (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by half a length. Winning rider Shoma Kanayama sticks and he looks certain to measure up again. FUKUSAN MODE (10) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten one length. Can go on with it. LE VENT SUNRISE (8) was comfortably accounted for when 11th last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Can bounce back. NOTHING ON YOU (7) was well below best last time when sixth at this track but change of rider today. Worth including on best form.
