GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Blue Flame. BEER BOY (1) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Urawa. Now under the care of new trainer Ikkoo Tanaka. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BLUE FLAME (9) resumes after a break of 11 weeks. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent. NORI WOOD TAIL (5) did little and finished sixth over 1400m at this track last start. Finds a suitable race and can feature. BLOOM THE DREAM (10) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Fitter and a top three hope.
