GOING:

Race 7 1870m

Track:      

Despite the small field Puff Of Wind, Meisho Matsuri and Hernandez can set a decent tempo. PUFF OF WIND (4) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1700m at this track. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. MEISHO MATSURI (3) showed good pace last time out and boxed on to finish a neck from the winner in second at this track over 1400m. Winning rider Daichi Matsuki sticks. Best form puts him right in this. HERNANDEZ (5) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. M ZAK DREAM (7) showed good early dash and led for most of the way before fading to finish 2.75 lengths away in fourth over 1700m at this track. Deserves respect.
