GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

Looks a tactical race on paper with no early speed evident. MEINER KING (9) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result when runner-up here. Has his share of ability and is clearly in good order. Race fit and in good form so looks hard to beat again in another suitable race. WIN LIBERALE (4) has switched yards since finishing 13th five weeks ago over 1800m at Niigata. Will relish the big drop in class and a bold showing is anticipated. IMPETUOSO (3) has been midfield in his last couple and draws to advantage. Could play a role in this line-up. KIRISHIMA TOWN (7) could fill a top-four spot.
