GOING:

Race 2 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Shishi to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. SHISHI (9) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by 8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Tomohiro Yoshimura sticks and he can go on with it. SUN SALANG (3) is resuming from a spell of 12 weeks and having her first run for the Ikkoo Tanaka yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Funabashi over 1000m. One of the genuine hopes in the race. IN SEASON (2) is yet to break through in nine runs. Finished eighth at her last appearance over 820m at this track on June 13 after she got a long way back in the run. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. SHIROZUKINCHAN (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 4.5 lengths away in ninth over 820m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
