GOING: S

Race 9 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Little early pressure expected in a race devoid of an on-pacer. YAMAJUN HIBANA (3) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to cope. TOSEN GENIAL (2) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey at this track before finishing second, beaten 6 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. RURIIRO (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, at Funabashi over 1200m. Can bounce back. RYUNO RED EYE (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 17 lengths into fifth. Possible improver.
