GOING: G

Race 4 900m

Track: GOOD      

Dona Dubois has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. PAS DE DEUX (2) went forward when resuming last start over 1200m at Funabashi and held on well for third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DONA DUBOIS (8) is fresh from a spell of six-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 900m. In a different yard now. Solid chance first-up for the new barn. SHINOBU DESTINO (11) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 900m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Winning rider Ryo Tanaka sticks and she cannot be discounted. MONT LUNE (7) has not appeared since she scored over 900m at this track on December 14. Sure to measure up.
