GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Kashino Flex and Nangoku Candle leading the charge. KARAKUNIDAKE (6) is a handy type who resumes after a break of four months. Only appeared once last prep when he finished fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Among the leading chances. KASHINO FLEX (8) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. In the mix on best. NANGOKU CANDLE (3) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. One to consider. NISHIKARAKITA YUMA (9) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back that up when unplaced over 2000m at this track last time. Sure to be thereabouts.
