GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Presto Shadow to take charge ahead of Star Of Sky at a strong tempo. PRESTO SHADOW (1) returns from a spell of four months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Monbetsu over 1000m when first-up last time in work. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. AYDIN LOVER (6) finished eighth over 1400m at Mizusawa at her most recent appearance on November 26. Now under the care of new trainer Tsutomu Tanaka. Looks a winning chance. CONCIER D (5) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. LA VIE EST BELLE (3) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 9 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
