GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Maruka Vento to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TOMOE (7) scored at this track last time out with 2 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including seven wins. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. MARUKA VENTO (1) finished fourth last time out at this track over 1800m. Has a very strong record at this journey, scoring on three occasions from four starts. Tatsuya Watanabe who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Fitter and a likely improver. YANAGIBA NEBAGIBA (8) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third over today's trip at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. KO OLINA LAGOON (6) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at Kanazawa, finishing fifth. Rates well on best figures and is worth including.
