GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Yakujin Myo O and A Shin Ponmenoko matching motors. A SHIN PONMENOKO (5) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when third here after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to take this out. MARUKA FELIZ (3) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs but has been tackling much tougher opposition, the most recent being a rearward finish at Niigata Dirt. Well-placed in this easier assignment and he is among the leading players. YAKUJIN MYO O (1) is coming off a last-start sixth here. Capable of playing a big role. IMAGINE LENNON (2) has switched yards since finishing 11th two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Should find this easier and is among the main hopes.

The start before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on May 15 over 1400m, 4 len behind A Shin Ponmenoko carrying 56kg at $1.10. Strong each-way hope with the assistance of the inside gate.
