Race 1 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Lots of speed predominantly from Teruken Yumito Ken, Love Love Seina and Ukiyono Messiah. UKIYONO MESSIAH (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a nose over 1100m at Monbetsu. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. MY BELIEVE (6) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1000m at this track in a tougher race. Likely improver so she may prove tough to beat. METAL KING (5) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1200m at this track. Fitter so could go one better. TERUKEN YUMITO KEN (3) did a good job on debut last time out, finishing a nose from the winner in second at this track and trip. Open to plenty of improvement.
