GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Konjikino Boss and World Heritage. TEN COUNT (4) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1300m at Mizusawa last time out. Knocking on the door his past few outing and today might be his day. STRAIGHT (8) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1300m at Mizusawa, making it two minor placings in a row. Backmarker who keeps coming. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MIYUKI GEKOKUJO (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1300m at Mizusawa a week ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. WORLD HERITAGE (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Mizusawa over 850m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
