GOING:

Race 8 850m

Track:      

Expecting Up Tempest to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MEISHO IJIGEN (2) enjoyed the drop from JRA level and when he ran a good race and finished 1.2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Finds a nice assignment and can play a significant role. TENGU CLUB (5) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Has been thereabouts without winning and looks well placed to break through. EARTH HOUR (7) finished third over 1200m at Morioka Dirt last time out following a determined win two back. Among the leading players. GALE (1) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 900m at Kawasaki. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Toshihiko Kobayashi. Keep safe.
