GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

No recognised leader engaged but La Torera has the pace to work to the front from wide out. MIYUKIATESSOUHAITS (7) finished 13th over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt at her most recent appearance on January 7. Has switched to the Satoru Setoguchi yard and should be ready to go. RUKO BEAUTY (5) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what she can do. BLOT CASTER (9) has been safely held at his last couple of starts, the latest when always well back in 11th over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Expecting a far better run at this level. SYMBOL THE SUN (1) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 14th over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
