GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Koyu Masani Kimi leading from Fukushima Par Play and Crown Boss. FUKUSHIMA PAR PLAY (2) got home by a nose last time out over 1300m at this track. Has four wins here. Shinsuke Ishikawa who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish again. KOYU MASANI KIMI (1) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1300m at this track. Is going okay this campaign, recording three wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Bold showing expected. DERMA SALAMANDER (9) knuckled down strongly to get within a neck of the winner in second last start over 1300m at this track. Has won two races at this course and distance from five tries. Has claims on his best efforts. TOHO VIVIAN (4) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1300m at this track. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
