GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Hayabusa Nandehime has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. HAYABUSA NANDEHIME (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. PRIMAVERA (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish a nose adrift in second over 1400m at this track when fresh from a break. Shoya Hozono stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Likely to feature. SHONAN BARGE (5) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start when second-up from a spell, finishing 15th and beaten 24 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Among the leading chances. NOMENTANO (3) hasn't featured at her last two runs, the latest when beaten 12 lengths into ninth at Niigata Dirt. Out of her depth in JRA meets recently but can easily bounce back.
