GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure from Tsubakuro, A's Odin and Rikea Cappuccino battling for the lead over Yurari Yurameite. RIKEA CAPPUCCINO (1) has been in sparkling form, scoring two wins on end then finishing second last time over 1700m at Nagoya. Back to the scene of his victory two runs back. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. TSUBAKURO (5) finished second at this track over this distance at his latest outing. Has a very good record here including five wins from seven starts. Must be respected. YURARI YURAMEITE (10) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. MIRACLE DREAM (6) strung wins together then has filled minor placings at his last couple, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
