GOING:

Race 1 1300m

Track:      

Sanzakurosu to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. SANZAKUROSU (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Monbetsu. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. MANA SKY (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Monbetsu. Bold showing expected fresh. YUI BISCUIT (2) ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. TANTAN REALIZE (6) is fitter for two runs from a spell but yet to find best, the latest finishing ninth over 900m at this track. Well placed in this contest and capable of playing a role in the finish.
