GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Slick pace with A Shin Jikokuten finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SANNEN HANAGUMI (9) sat on the pace before tiring to be beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth when resuming over this track and trip last time out. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Likely to feature. A SHIN JIKOKUTEN (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 820m at this track. Should be prominent from the low draw. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. HIDEGAMI QUEEN (4) showed good early speed when resuming last start over this journey before finishing second, beaten less than a length. Ready to go one better. LOVELY LORA (10) finished fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
