GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track:      

There should be a bit of pressure with Pueraria Cheko and Good Hello pressing forward in advance of Fuerte Tesoro and Karustone Delight. GOOD HELLO (3) resumes from a spell of ten months and is having her first outing under new trainer Yoshiharu Oikawa. Finished fourth at Kawasaki over 900m at the opening run last time in work. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. TAISHIRON BLADE (11) was well in commission last start over 1000m at this track when fifth, beaten 3 lengths. Deserves another chance on the back of that solid performance. YAKANHIKO (10) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KARUSTONE DELIGHT (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1000m at this track. Cannot be underestimated.
