GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Let's Go Ask should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. WISTERIA DADDY (6) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Himeji four months ago. Can pick up where he left off. LOVE BAY (3) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1230m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. STABILIZER (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. OKEN FIGHTER (7) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal.
