GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Bandam Again and Meisho Tokonatsu to dominate the early contest ahead of the small field. BANDAM AGAIN (4) is a boom three-year-old filly yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. A SHIN ROTATE (2) is yet to break through in 10 runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on June 19 after he got a long way back in the run. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. HEROIC ROY (6) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 2 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Makoto Okabe sticks and he is definitely worth including. CERULEAN JAGUAR (1) kicked off this campaign with a win but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. In the mix.
