GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

In the small field Maple Captain or Hamburg Imoto should find the front. HAMBURG IMOTO (7) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 1.75 lengths. Winning rider Yuta Yamada stays aboard and she can go on with it. NISHINO YELL (2) comes here following a win over 1230m at this track two weeks ago. Should be in the finish again. KASHINO MERMAID (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1870m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. DREAM CHASER (5) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished eighth over 1230m at this track. Looks suited and worth including.
