GOING:

Race 7 2000m

Track:      

G T Rapid should be able to comfortably find the front. NARINO BOGART (6) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths away in third over 2000m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Nicely placed to find winning ways. G T RAPID (5) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten 8 lengths. Can bounce right back. IVY GENIE (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 2000m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. NISHINO SHINING (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 12 lengths into ninth at his latest appearance over 1800m at Funabashi. Backmarker who keeps coming. Sure to be competitive.
