GOING:

Race 5 1800m

Track:      

Pace looks strong with Nirai Kanai Arrow pushing forward from out wide along with Jun Odr in closer. NIRAI KANAI ARROW (11) produced a decent effort last time out when prominent at the corner before finishing second over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Had won three of his previous four starts here. Big chance. JUN ODR (2) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Sonoda two starts back then scored by a head as public elect last time out over 1400m at Sonoda. Capable of another big performance. AITAKA (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. HIKARUNO KIMI (7) turned things around last start and got the job done by half a length over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Go well.
