GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Eikai Boxer should lead at a strong tempo. EIKAI BOXER (6) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. NEXT HEROINE (7) was well beaten in tougher company two back then was better placed last time and finished half a length away in second over 1000m. Rates highly and is a leading player. SCENT OF SIN (12) has been safely held at her last couple of starts, the latest when always well back in 15th over 1200m at Sapporo. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here. UNCLE THUNDER (10) finished second first-up here but couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at this track over 1200m. Has ability and rates among the chances.
