GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Moon Pass Storm is expected to lead at a slick tempo. LOT PILINA (5) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1000m at Monbetsu, beaten 4.5 lengths. One of the leading contenders in this suitable contest. MINE TOP STAR (2) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when ninth over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Better placed and can bounce back to form. MOON PASS STORM (7) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 900m. Sure to be competitive. COPANO BAHAMA (11) finished 18 lengths from the winner in eighth at his most recent outing over 1300m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
