GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Off the low draw the speedy Upper Part Bio should lead at a genuine tempo. UPPER PART BIO (2) has a very good fresh up record including five wins. Has the speed to be prominent and best figures should see her run well. DIAMOND SWAN (1) finished in the minors last start at this track over 1400m. Hasn't broken through this track and trip yet but turned in some good runs including two placings. Rates among the leading chances. G AND GO (9) ran below expectations last time at Funabashi, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths when in the market. Honest record at this distance including two wins and two placings from eight runs and shapes as a key player here. GOSPEL (6) finished among the placings last time at this track and should be further improved. Goes well over the journey and can figure in the finish. K T GAZAMI (8) also in the mix.
