GOING: FM

Race 4 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Meisho Benibana. MEISHO BENIBANA (10) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 800m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by one length. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. FANFAN (7) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Kawasaki two starts back then scored by 3 lengths as public elect last time out over 800m at this track. Kazuki Akatsu scored on him last time and retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. MAHNE FLOTTANT (12) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 800m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. PEISHA KINEMA (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 800m. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
