GOING:

Race 1 800m

Track:      

Dawdling affair devoid of a pacemaker. SPIRAL (6) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. HIKARUNO NAGI (5) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished tenth over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. KOKO MADONNA (7) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 12th over 1800m at Nakayama. One of the leading chances in this easier assignment. KURINO LEGACY (4) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 11th at Kyoto over 1600m when first-up last time in work and can feature here.
