GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Gureko to take charge ahead of Magical Candy at a good tempo. DREAM PANJA (12) last appeared six weeks ago over 1800m at Niigata Dirt when she finished 14th. This is her first run for the Koichi Seto stable. Sure to take beating. RAIJIN CITY (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASCOT LEI (5) finished second last start over 1200m at this track to make it two minor placings from six runs. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this venue. Strong chance. MAGICAL CANDY (1) finished second last time out over 1200m at this track, making it two career minor placings. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from four starts. Worth including.
