GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by North Gloria. SPRIGGAN (3) returns from a spell of five months and did win first-up last time in work over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature. MEISHO KAJIKI (7) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 1400m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey, including two wins. Expected to be there at the business end. EMERGENCE (1) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Among the better hopes. GALBANUM (5) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track. Sound top-three chance.
