GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Fairy and Conti Tohoku leading the way. CONTI TOHOKU (4) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MEISHO NIKONIKO (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. DODO NI SAN SAN (5) finished third at Mizusawa two runs back but was less effective last time over 1200m at this track, finishing in sixth. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. GOODBYE ISAAC (3) was below his best last time when ninth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at this track July 22 over 1400m defeating Meisho Nikoniko carrying 56kg at $1.50. The run before that didn't do much in the run home; 7th of 12 at Ohi on June 13 over 1400m, 10 len behind Greatest Work with 55kg at $30.10. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
