GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Hiruno Cardiff, Amelita and Kira Kaido ahead of Admiring. ADMIRING (4) has recently been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track. Missed the frame at his only try at this trip. Form at this track is solid. Sure to go well. ECORO RAIJIN (8) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when tenth over 1600m at Nakayama. Well-placed in this easier assignment and he is among the leading players. HIRUNO CARDIFF (6) is putting together some solid results. Finished second here two starts back then scored by 4 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Myojo Haru Dai scored on her last time and retains the ride. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. CHANGE OF HEART (2) could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
