GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Backpack to take charge ahead of Pants Taisho at a strong tempo. BACKPACK (10) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is a leading contender. PANTS TAISHO (7) finished third two runs back but was less effective last time over 1600m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Finds a nice race and can atone. MIKONO ONGAESHI (1) finished eighth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Has a win and three minor placings from six starts at this track and distance. Capable of bouncing back. AOI RIKIMARU (2) was fifth over 1600m at this track last time out. Well-placed to feature.
