GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

A keen contest with Meiwa Sherry and Hiro Shige Crystal leading from Waikiki Beach. HIRO SHIGE CRYSTAL (3) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. MEIWA SHERRY (8) pushed forward from a wide draw when fresh from a spell last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth over 1300m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. YAMATO KACHIDOKI (7) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki. One of the main contenders. TAISHITAMONDARO (2) ran sixth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, clocking in 3 lengths from the winner. Definite chance.
