GOING: G

Race 4 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with Nishino Babangida and Power Of The King kicking up from their low draws. IMPISH (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. POWER OF THE KING (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a neck away in second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. PEPTIDE SHINANO (4) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 2000m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around. CELEB UMAZAMMAI (5) ran below expectations last time at Funabashi, finishing eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths. In the mix.
