GOING:

Race 1 820m

Track:      

Anticipate Bachelo Rex, Kurino Nina and La La Kerria to set a strong tempo. IN NO TIME (11) finished third two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 820m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Should be thereabouts. BACHELO REX (1) failed to live up to expectations over 820m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Has his share of ability and is well placed to atone. KURINO NINA (3) hit the frame two starts ago but ran well below par last time when 11th over 820m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. HINATA LADY (4) was narrowly beaten at her latest appearance at Himeji over 800m four months ago. Makes plenty of appeal fresh.
