GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Shigerutsukimizake, Letemps Allure and Uwasano Anoko. LE GRAND CHARIOT (8) is a 13-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing third at this track over 1600m last time out after being prominent at the bend. This isn't as hard so he is perfectly placed to score. LETEMPS ALLURE (5) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1500m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEISHO KAMMURI (4) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 0.8 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Well-placed and expected to feature again. SHIGERUTSUKIMIZAKE (11) will find this a little easier than his last run just 10 days ago when fifth over 1400m at Urawa. Deserves another chance.
