GOING:

Race 6 1870m

Track:      

Vlag and A Shin Licht will likely pair off in front of the small field. VLAG (4) scored first up from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in nine starts, including eight wins and one placing. Leading contender. A SHIN LICHT (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1700m at this track, leading throughout and putting 2.5 lengths on his rivals. Sure to take some stopping again. GAIA EXPRESS (1) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing seventh over 1600m at Funabashi ten weeks ago. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts and should be involved in the finish. TOSEN SPRINT (3) last start finished seventh at this track over 1400m. Anticipating a better run this time.
