GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

A race that is devoid of early speed and it is hard to nominate a leader. MEINER KING (4) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1300m at this track when second. Should go close. FIRST RICKEY (9) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when second. Fitter and expected to be prominent. TOA ELECTRON (2) is returning from a spell of 11 weeks. Finished 11th at Kokura Dirt over 1700m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Mamoru Tanaka. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. ARDORE (10) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on June 9 finishing 11th over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Mamoru Tanaka. Can make his presence felt.
