GOING:

Race 7 800m

Track:      

Good pressure from the outset with Siena Wave, Siena Ace and Ecoro Bresse taking up the running over Black Empire and Kicks. KICKS (9) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 6 lengths at this track over 800m. Kosei Akimoto has been the pilot at her last two wins. Expecting a bold showing. BLACK EMPIRE (4) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by one length over 800m at this track. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish again. SIENA WAVE (1) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance eight months ago. Can make his presence felt. DESERT MOON (3) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 11 lengths into 11th over 1200m at Funabashi. Has a decent second up record. Can do better this time.
