GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track:      

Plenty of pace likely from Tenrai, Bellevue Drive and World Whistler battling for the lead from Aino Arrows. TENRAI (3) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 4 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. MAEGAMIINOCHIKEI (4) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in ninth at this course and distance. Can bounce back. BELLEVUE DRIVE (8) hit the frame two starts ago at Mizusawa but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths over 850m at Mizusawa. Nicely placed to bounce back. BIG YASHICHI ROOF (1) is edging closer to an elusive win. Good latest effort when fourth over 1000m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
