GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Expecting plenty of speed from Hakusan Hanabi, Dragon Musume and Viola Dancer from Natural Eight. HAKUSAN HANABI (3) did a great job to score by 30 lengths over today's course and distance last start. Sure to go well again. SATTOOR (8) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at this track. Will need a good ride from Yuma Shibata off the awkward draw but can feature again. SASUKE PETAL (6) was in the money two starts back but missed the frame last time over 1500m at this track. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. NOBLE GENESIS (5) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1500m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
