GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Polar Night to take up the running at a moderate tempo. POUNCING PUMA (3) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing second over 1400m here. Jumps from a nice gate. Expected to be very competitive. GRAND JANU (8) won his maiden two back here then could only manage eighth last start over 1600m at this track. Useful type and can bounce back. KAMI ARASHI (2) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1400m at this track. Makoto Okabe gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. HOKUSEN KING O (10) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1600m here following a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
