GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Good pace expected with Stun Grenade, Wonder Bless and T O Robinson paving the way. T O ROBINSON (5) wasn't disgraced when fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at this circuit at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. RA (9) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1400m at Himeji. Worth noting Kanta Inoue goes aboard. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WONDER BLESS (3) finished just out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth over 1400m here three weeks ago after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent and is hard to beat in this suitable race. SQUID RUN (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this venue, beaten 4.5 lengths. Well placed to feature in the finish.
