GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Hamburg Hammer should find the front with Pinnacle Point and June Nadeshiko on her heels. CIVIC CHARLES (7) did a great job to score over this course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Hijikata Sota sticks and can measure up again. PINNACLE POINT (3) held on well to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can find the frame. HAMBURG HAMMER (4) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by half a length last time out over 1400m at Himeji. Will again be prominent from the outset and is capable of running a bold race. JUNE NADESHIKO (6) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
