GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Off the low draw Ton Yaibin is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. TON YAIBIN (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will again be prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. INO (12) made it two wins on the bounce last start when she scored by one length over 1400m at Urawa. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MARRON LUPINUS (1) bounced back last start and got the job done by a neck over 1500m at Urawa. Well placed and can repeat the dose. RIKEA VIOLET (6) was disappointing when tenth over 2000m at Urawa at his latest appearance. Suitably placed and can turn things around.
