GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ginga Express. GINGA EXPRESS (9) finished fifth over 1600m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expecting a bold showing. EGG HUNT (8) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1600m at this track last time. Should be prominent again. SAIMON GRIT (6) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when eighth over 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone. SEKISHO IDAI (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. Sure to run well again.
