GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid pace with Tsumo finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. TSUMO (5) made it three victories in succession last start when he easily accounted for his rivals over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BULLDOG GIRL (7) proved too strong last start and scored by a head over 1300m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. A SHIN HATHOR (1) didn't fire over 1300m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the talent to take this out. KITAKARAKITATENSHI (4) lines up on the back of a 7 length seventh over 1300m at this track. Has a win and three minor placings from six starts at this track and distance. Sure to measure up.
