GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Zendan Tomoni to take up the running with Chikachan and Aoi Hanamichi close at hand. CHIKACHAN (3) resumes for a new yard after finishing in the money over 1500m at Urawa at the last appearance on September 25. Goes well when fresh with a win and one minor placings from four starts. Sure to go well. ZENDAN TOMONI (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 1500m at Funabashi. Form here at this journey is very good with three wins from six runs. Among the leading chances. AMRTA (7) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a win and seven minor placings at this journey from 10 starts and is one of the contenders. MIRAIENO TENSHI (5) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths, over this journey at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
