GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Little in the way of early speed so Sacrifice may well find the front. KURO GO (8) failed to figure last time over 1500m at this track, finishing seventh. Capable of playing a major role on her best form. SHONAN SAGA (4) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was 17th over 1200m at Kokura. Strips fitter and can make amends here. CARTE MAITRESSE (7) has been safely held at her last two starts, the latest when 13th over 2000m at Hanshin. Does enjoy some weight relief this time. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here. CONJURER (10) finished 11th at her most recent appearance over 1500m at this track after she gave away a big start. No surprise if she figured in the finish in this suitable assignment.
