GOING:

Race 2 800m

Track:      

Strong pace from Nanami and Kleis Avanti matching motors with Meijo Star close at hand. KLEIS AVANTI (4) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 3 lengths over 900m at Kawasaki. Open to plenty of improvement and another win looks on the cards. MEIJO STAR (5) recorded a strong maiden win over 800m at this track last time, getting there by 6 lengths. Winning rider Haruto Nakayama sticks and she is definitely worth including. THROUGH THE MILL (1) finished 13th two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 800m at this track, beaten only a neck after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DONA SOLAIRE (11) finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth at her most recent outing over 900m at Kawasaki. Likely to be thereabouts.
