Race 4 1000m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace from Araucaria, Sol Levante and Salt Rock matching motors ahead of Ikizama. PERLAN (4) had put together a string of placings including a second two starts back then landed the prize by a neck last time out over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Can go on with it. HARU BOTAN (11) built on a nice second two starts back with a win as favourite over 1200m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Rei Iwamoto scored on her last time and retains the ride. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth serious consideration. NEVER LAND (8) is building towards another win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1200m at this track when beaten 3.5 lengths. Reika Sekimoto stays aboard. Certainly one to consider. ARAUCARIA (1) had been performing well until racing below his best last time. Draws the inside so could bounce back.
