GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Without frontrunners engaged Meisho Unabara gets the chance to lead. AGNES SANKI (6) missed the frame narrowly last start over this track and trip, beaten 2 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the corner. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. MEISHO UNABARA (10) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish fourth at this track. Holds genuine claims. WAKAGIMI (2) is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of ability and is among the key chances. AKAKICHINO ELEVEN (7) produced a better run last start in sixth over 820m at this track. The engagement of Tomohiro Yoshimura is a positive move. Better than recent efforts suggest.
