GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. BONNE JOURNEE (4) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1600m at this track. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. Likely to feature. YAMATO (5) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1400m at this track. Hidetoshi Abe scored on him last time and retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. RAIKONO HIKARI (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1600m. Nicely placed to bounce back. KURA KINKA (8) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
