GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Meisho Tokonatsu taking charge. GEWWAIENTAN (8) appreciated the drop in grade and recorded his maiden success last time out over 800m at this track, leading throughout. Lines up with the same rider Myojo Haru Dai and a repeat of the latest can see him take a hand in the finish. SUNSET COLOR (7) struggled in a tougher race two starts back but last time appreciated the drop in grade and bounced back to salute over 1400m at this track. Leading player. NIHONPIRO JESSICA (6) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 4 lengths. Looks well-placed and she can measure up again. STAR GUTS MAN (1) finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
