GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Nishino Coco and Raria matching motors. NISHINO COCO (9) ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1400m here. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Comes here with definite claims. LEO HEARTBEAT (3) tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at Nagoya. This is a nice drop in grade and can feature. RARIA (1) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when eighth over this journey at this track. Nicely placed to turn things around. SHINING BELL (6) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win six runs back, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track on April 3. Shin Higashikawa has registered two minor placings when on board. Don't underestimate.
