GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Shuffle Girl leading Tagano Owl. YUINO KOMICHI (5) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by a neck. Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. SHUFFLE GIRL (7) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Winning rider Tomohiro Yoshimura stays aboard. Should be in the finish. TAGANO OWL (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LUX DELPHI (9) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Should run well.
