MOMBETSU   18 Apr 2024
 
GOING: S

Race 11 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Loads of early pressure, primarily from Yoshino Heroine, Kitasan Hikoboshi and Shishamo Friend. YOSHINO HEROINE (5) is a promising filly yet to miss the frame after three starts, including two wins. Has not been produced since she was successful over 1200m at this track on August 24. Drawn to go forward. Will prove tough to beat. KAZUMA (9) did little and finished eighth over 1600m at Kasamatsu last start. Has been freshened for this and is worth another chance. SHISHAMO FRIEND (1) returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Has found the right race and is worth including. SOUTH VILLE (7) has not appeared since she finished second over 1400m at Morioka Dirt on October 29. Has to be respected fresh.
