GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Kimon Carrington and Let's Go Ask leading from Oken Fighter. KIMON CARRINGTON (1) finished second over 1400m at Himeji at his most recent appearance on February 18. Major player. HIGH GOOD SHINE (7) left a good impression last time out when beaten a long neck into third over 1700m at this track. Can break through. OKEN FIGHTER (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Fitter and anticipating a big run again. BONIN BLUE (2) last raced on June 6 when fifth at this track over 1400m. Will strip fitter this time and cannot be underestimated.
