GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Soreike Ginchan who should kick up along the paint. REEF AQUARIUM (2) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Worth noting Taku Kawashima goes aboard. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. SOREIKE GINCHAN (1) resumes in a similar race to her last run ten weeks ago when she scored by 2 lengths. Looks a winning chance. KASHINO MENKOCHAN (9) turned in a fine effort to win by a head at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to cope. LORD REAL (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2 lengths over 900m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
