GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Bonjour Zen taking charge. MIKKI STRIKE (10) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when sixth over 2000m at Chukyo. Will find this easier and he can bounce back. BONJOUR ZEN (4) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. SOKKO TARUMAKA (3) has switched yards since finishing 16th six weeks ago over 2000m at Ohi. One of the genuine hopes in the race. YES GO ON (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
