GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks genuine from Wonder Bless, Kutsuwano Sekitori and Salita, closely attended by Viride Silva. STAY TUNED (7) returns from a break of four months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. MISS TREVI NO (8) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. WONDER BLESS (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 8 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from six outings. Among the leading players again. MEISHO MAGOICHI (9) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at Himeji when returning from a spell last prep. Has to be respected.
