GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Love And Grace and Charmy Eyes matching motors. MEISHO RANZAN (3) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Best fresh figures put him right in this. CHARMY EYES (9) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and she can make amends. TENKU WORLD (7) is ready to win after collecting his fourth minor placing in a row last time over 1400m at this track. Takashi Nakata who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely improver with strong claims. LOVE AND GRACE (1) missed the placings when 11th over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
