GOING:

Maiden Race 1500m

Track:      

Slick pace with Mange Tak finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. MANGE TAK (1) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to find the placings at Tokyo two starts back before finishing fourth over 1600m at Tokyo last time. Terrific chance to break through. WIN IZANAMI (13) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths away in third over 1400m at Tokyo. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CUISINIERE (5) never really threatened on debut, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin. With natural improvement she can feature in the finish. SHONAN TAHTI (9) was beaten 5 lengths into fifth in a 1800m contest at Fukushima at his latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
