GOING:

NIIGATA NIPPO SHO 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Isa Chil Seaside leading Yamanin Ad Hoc. WORLD'S END (6) is having his first run since January 12. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from four runs, the most recent over 1600m at Kyoto at the start of last prep. Expected to go very well. PERIFANIA (4) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1400m contest at Tokyo by 0.8 lengths. Will be hard to beat. ISA CHIL SEASIDE (3) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Nakayama. Sure to make his presence felt. YUKIMARU (8) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten half a length into third over 1400m at Tokyo. Can make an impact again.
