GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track:      

Lack of early speed means Joy Pobeda could find the lead. JOY POBEDA (10) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 850m at Mizusawa after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GOODBYE ISAAC (3) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish tenth at the latest run over 1400m at Sonoda. Ready to find winning form as he makes his stable debut. ZELTER (9) was below his best last time when sixth over 1300m at Mizusawa. Nicely placed to turn things around. NO VENTO (7) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1300m at Mizusawa. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be doing her best work late.
