GOING:

Race 7 1870m

Track:      

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. TAGANO FLUGEL (3) resumes from a spell of three months. Could only manage to finish 11th at the latest run over 2600m at Kokura. Well placed and can feature fresh. SHIRAKABA (7) turned things around last start and got the job done by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. HERMANITO (4) finished fifth last time out over 1230m at this track six days ago. Steps up in distance today and can play a big role. CHERRY ROMANCE (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third over 1400m at this track. Can figure in the finish again.
