GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Meisho Gigas to take up the running with Hakkyoi and Figlio Allegro close at hand. MEISHO GIGAS (9) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score dominantly last time out over this course and distance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. Grade 2 placegetter FIGLIO ALLEGRO (5) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when third here, only beaten 1.5 lengths after making up late ground. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. OUTER SPACE (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success here six weeks ago, getting home comfortably after being in contention on the turn. Worth noting Katsunori Ureshi goes aboard. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KIZOKU (4) dug deep to score two runs but wasn't as effective last start when fourth over 1600m at this track last time six weeks ago. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and deserves respect.
