GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Bold Hawk taking charge. BOLD HAWK (4) was well fancied last start after two wins in a row, but could only manage fifth over 1400m at this track. Soichi Kato who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Hard to go past on best form. HIFUMI BANDAM (8) followed a second-up win here two starts back with a solid second at this track over 1400m on September 10. Huge chance. MOMOJIRO (7) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Myojo Haru Dai sticks. Has claims. KIRA KAIDO (9) finished second last time over 1600m at this track. Racing well and cannot be underestimated.
