GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. DELICATESSEN (9) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Himeji two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Racing well and can go on with it. OTEMBAMUSUME (10) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Looms large. NOTIAS (2) could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 2860m at Kokura. Worth including in this suitable contest. BELLAGIO KOHEI (5) course and distance winner whose latest effort was a second over 1400m at this track. Has ability and is worth including in the multiples.
