GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Macario, Mikino Oboe and Tsukasa Train prominent. MIKINO OBOE (9) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1500m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by one length. Finds the right race this time and can salute again. LIFE FULL SMILES (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently finishing third over 1700m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. MACARIO (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Kasamatsu, finishing second at the end of 1400m after being in the firing line on the turn. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. HEKIREKI ISSEN (11) next best.
