GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

The big field should ensure a genuine tempo. NAGOYABASHIRI (11) recorded a strong maiden win over this track and trip last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Junki Mochizuki sticks and he looks certain to measure up again. SHINING WAKIA (12) led all the way to score on debut over 920m at this track four weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. GOLD LETTER (3) was comfortably accounted last time out. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NIDONE (4) proved too strong two runs ago and then followed it up with another solid effort last time out when third here. Expect a better run this time.
