GOING:

Race 1 920m

Track:      

Expecting Misora to lead Kitakarakita Maaya at just a moderate tempo. FUKU FORMOSA (4) is a 10-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1500m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove hard to hold out. MISORA (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless win over 920m at this track. Sure to take some stopping again. KITAKARAKITA MAAYA (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YAMA NOBLE (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
