GOING:

Race 9 820m

Track:      

Wakino Glass and Makankosappo are both expected to press forward and take it up. MAKANKOSAPPO (10) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third when resuming last time out over 820m at this track. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. AL RASHID (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing fifth at his latest appearance over 820m at this track. Rates highly on best form and should go a lot better. SHINING GIFT (5) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when ninth over 1230m at this track after he got a long way back. Will strip fitter and is sure to be about the mark. NISHINO KASUGAI (3) is a three-year-old filly yet to find the frame after five runs. Failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last start, finishing 15th over 1200m at Fukushima. Can feature here in this suitable assignment.
