GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Narita Gekko and O Shin Bomber taking up the running over A Shin Reaper. A SHIN REAPER (5) is going well with four minor placings from five starts this time in work. Produced another good performance at his most recent run when second over 1400m at this track after he was always up in the leading division. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MARBLE TISWA (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. NARITA GEKKO (9) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. One of the main contenders. FULL LIMIT (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely.
