GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Feather Sky. SHINZEN HACHIMAN (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh starting at $2.50. Worth noting Hijikata Sota goes aboard. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. O SHIN ANGEL (4) tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. FEATHER SKY (8) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1230m at this track last time. Has a decent record at this track and is sure to be competitive. PASADENA DREAM (3) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Has ability so don't underestimate.
