GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Bajigaku Chamo leading the way. BAJIGAKU CHAMO (12) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1400m at this track. Had plenty on his rivals last time and will go well again. DOMINIQUE (3) comes here off a break of ten months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 920m at Nagoya. Expect her to play a major role. HORAISHO (11) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 6 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but she cannot be underestimated. AVANZA YUKI (5) finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 800m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
