GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Plenty of early pressure primarily from Bullbear Beige, Kita Makfi and K T Yui. ONE LOVE (4) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a spell last start over 1400m at Kawasaki. Will take a lot from that hitout. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KITA MAKFI (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YUMETSUKUSHI (9) was doing her best work late last start to get up for third over 1400m at this track. Retsu Oikawa stays aboard. Certainly one to consider. GLORIOUS FILL (7) was in the money two starts back at Funabashi but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
