GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

A keen contest with Shining Lukia and Kitakara Kita Dia leading from Benino Rave. SHINING LUKIA (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over this track and trip after being in contention all the way. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KITAKARA KITA DIA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start at Urawa. Better placed this time and is one of the main hopes. BENINO RAVE (2) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. NISHINO TENKAFUBU (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start at Urawa. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
