GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Kinjito to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MEISHO OJIMA (2) recorded a strong maiden win when stepping out for the new yard at this track and trip last time, getting there by 5 lengths. Nicely drawn and he looks capable of working through his grades. TAMAMO CARABOSSE (3) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. May take catching. KINJITO (7) resumes having shown some decent form last campaign including a win at this track two back. Definite top-three chance. MAHEALANI (1) strips fitter for the resuming run and draws to advantage so can improve.
