GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Onigiri should find the front with Trance Run and A Shin Nirvana on his heels. TRANCE RUN (4) was narrowly beaten at her latest appearance at Himeji over 800m five months ago. Sure to make her presence felt. FULL LIMIT (3) finished sixth last time out over 1400m at this track following a minor placing here over 1400m the run prior. Cannot be left out of calculations. ONIGIRI (6) should be peaking now after finishing third over 1400m at this circuit last time at the third run of the campaign. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and has winning claims on best figures. SELENA RISU (10) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this venue over 1230m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 17 lengths. Finds a nice race and can bounce right back.
