GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Shiny Pocket has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. ADAMAS MINORU (11) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1600m at Mizusawa. Has the right credentials. SANEI BRAVE (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Mizusawa two starts back then scored by one length last time out over 1600m at Mizusawa. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LILY ARROW (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Mizusawa, finishing fourth and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1600m after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. MIYAKO PLAISIR (10) performed above expectations when resuming last time over 1600m at Mizusawa, finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in third after starting at huge odds. Toshiya Yamamoto who has five wins when partnering stays on. Best figures stack up.
