GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

The pace looks even at best given a lack of early speed. DAISHICHISEI (1) finds it hard to win with two victories from 24 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when ninth over 820m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SATONO AVALON (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run three-and-a-half months ago when seventh, beaten 15 lengths. Rates highly and should take some beating. YUINO OTOSHIANA (6) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when tenth, beaten 23 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TASMAN HIGHWAY (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 38 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
