GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. RANGIROA (6) got a long way back when eighth in a 1900m contest at Kochi three weeks ago. Finds the right race this time and can feature. FAIRY MARK (5) settled well back when tenth over 1400m at this track last star. In the mix in this suitable race. TAMAMO HEROINE (7) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Leading player on best figures and a bold showing expected. ALA (3) was ninth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
