GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

The speedy Makoto Yamambagiri should find the front with Octopussy and A Shin Chimaira on his heels. LOVE YOU SAKURA (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a neck over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. OCTOPUSSY (6) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third here at her latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. MAKOTO YAMAMBAGIRI (8) finished out of the money two starts back when fifth over this track a week-and-a-half ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NISHINO ALMIGHT (5) finished sixth in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. Finds a nice race and can atone.
