GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Kitano Chance finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. KITANO CHANCE (7) scored comfortably last start at this track over this distance after she was in contention on the bend. Has found the frame in all six starts at this journey, including three wins. Niihara Shuma who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. AFRO GAL (4) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. TATSUNO KISEKI (3) did a good job last start to finish third at Funabashi over 1500m, beaten 1.1 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Nice alley and should run well. ASK URBAN SEA (5) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by one length over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
