GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace from Meisho Sonic taking it up with Yoshino Tarumae and Magnetar on his back. MEISHO SONIC (5) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. MEISHO KAJIKI (7) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YUINO OTOKOYAMA (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TOMB RAIDER (4) turned in a better run last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
