GOING:

Race 8 1230m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Narita Shin leading from Meiner Pointer and Tokimeki Knight. NARITA SHIN (5) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 4 lengths at this track and trip last start in a much improved run. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. KOIBITOMISAKI (1) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish sixth here. Nicely placed and expected to go well. YAMATAKE MAJOR (6) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LEO FUTURE (8) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out, after a win at Himeji at the previous outing. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
