GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Nirai Kanai Arrow and Python will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. NISHINO IKKI SASU (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Drawn well close to the inside and he can go on with it. NIRAI KANAI ARROW (10) is a five-start maiden who filled a minor placing at this track at the last run before spelling. Jumps from a wide alley but a bold showing is expected. DRIFT WOOD (5) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by one length over 1400m at this track. Everything points to a big run. NISHINO KIYOHA (9) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
