GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Good tempo anticipated with Chikichiki Cheetah and Rinen Princess leading the way. ASTER NILGIRI (11) recorded another success last time over 1400m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Far too good last start and has plenty of upside so can deliver again. NANTOKA NARUNYA (4) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1400m at this track last time out. Close to a win and gets the chance in this suitable assignment. RINEN PRINCESS (6) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track. Jun Tanaka stays aboard. Likely to be competitive. CHIKICHIKI CHEETAH (9) recorded a string of placings before the last attempt so could bounce back.
