GOING: G

Race 7 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

A keen early contest likely with Oza Ris and Yoshino Mitchi pushing for the lead with Rase Grise and Bright Ocean on their backs. OZA RIS (7) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Fitter and a major player. RASE GRISE (3) knuckled down strongly to get within one length of the winner in second last start over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from eight starts. Will be hard to stop. NISHINO TENKAFUBU (11) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth over 1500m at Funabashi. Sure to be winding up late and worth including here. YOSHINO MITCHI (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Kawasaki, clocking in 5 lengths from the winner. One of the better chances.
