GOING: S

Race 9 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Locus Marianne is the likely leader at a keen tempo. KEIAI BAZARA (12) has been about the money with three minor placings from three runs this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1600m at this track. Takayuki Yano has been in the money at the last three rides. Should be in the finish. PRINCESS CHIARA (9) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and is among the leading chances. HO O RANGER (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 5 lengths back in fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. NOBISHIRO (7) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by a neck over 1200m. In form and worth including.
