GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Plenty of pace with A Shin Aegis and Fukai leading from Koma Fourze. KOMA FOURZE (3) belied the big odds last time, sent out at $28.90 but finishing a 1.5 lengths second over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Makoto Okabe stays atop again today. Best form puts her right in this. A SHIN AEGIS (2) ran below expectations last time out finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths at Himeji over 1400m when in the market. Favourably drawn and gets Okabe in the saddle. Rates highly here and expected to atone for last run. FUKAI (4) brings sound form at track and trip with a win and one placing from four runs. Looks well placed and is among the chances on best form. GREAT ROMAN (7) is close to breaking through, last time out recording another placing when third over 1400m at this track. Yet to win here but has recorded some good runs including five placings and can certainly figure in the finish.
