GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Daisen Storm taking charge. DAISEN STORM (5) is going very well this time in with five wins from eight attempts. Won two starts back at Nagoya and was close again last time out. Kodai Asano who has four wins when partnering stays on. Drawn perfectly and will be hard to hold out. KOTOSHIRO (2) finished sixth over 1600m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Has a fine record here with seven wins from 13 starts and should run well. PLAYER'S HIGH (8) was thereabouts last time out when third at this track over 1600m, only beaten 1.5 lengths. Has a decent record here with three minor placings from four runs. Strong claims on his best form. A SHIN NUUSPET (6) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago when eighth. Can make her presence felt fresh.
