GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. MEISHO RANZAN (2) was fresh from a six-month break last start and scored by 30 lengths at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Can go on with it. TOKINO KELLY (6) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. A leading hope again. HIKARINO AME (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 7 lengths on her rivals. Should figure in the finish again. MEISHO ARES (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role.
