GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed engaged with Big Reversal, Iromegane and Golden London going forward ahead of Kirakirari and Hang Time. KURINO ACHIEVER (8) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 1400m at Himeji. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. ONE OF US (9) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 10 lengths over 1400m at Himeji. Winning rider Teppei Kotani stays aboard and he should be in the finish again. MATTONE ROSSO (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 5.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOLDEN LONDON (6) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 6 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Likely improver with solid prospects.
