GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Meet The Target and Hunkster leading the charge. SEIUN PIKAICHI (2) really dug deep to score by one length three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. One of the major players. HUNKSTER (6) ran below expectations last time, finishing seventh starting at $1.90. Finds a nice race and can atone. MEET THE TARGET (5) missed the frame last start over 1400m at Sonoda when fourth. Has her share of ability and finds a suitable race. TAMAMO SAIJO (3) is back from a spell of three months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Sound prospects.
