GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

From the inside gate G T Glow will dash through and lead from Minamijujisei and Kurino Meister. KASHINO ASAP (6) is putting together some solid results. Finished second here two starts back then landed the prize by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is one of the chief contenders. SMART ROBERT (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at Sonoda. Should park just off the speed despite a difficult draw. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is likely to play a big role. MINAMIJUJISEI (12) went forward last start and gave a great sight when third over 1400m at this track. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Form at this track is solid. Strong claims on his best form. G T GLOW (1) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1300m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
