GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Small field but Pisan Zapra, Gifted Queen and Super Icy can ensure a genuine tempo. PISAN ZAPRA (5) will find this a little easier than her second on debut four weeks ago, beaten 3 lengths at the end of 1400m at this track. Promising type with improvement to come so she will prove tough to beat. GIFTED QUEEN (7) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. YES YOU DRIVE (4) is back after a break. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1000m at Monbetsu. Leading player on best figures. Bold showing expected. SUPER ICY (1) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start when fourth over 1500m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
