GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Dona Dubois may lead the way over Beloved Witch. FUTARI SAISON (2) is having her first run since winning by a neck a month ago over 1500m at Nagoya. Has transferred to the Kazumasa Kaneda stable over the break. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. PURPURITE (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for second over 1500m at Nagoya. Backmarker who gets home hard. Key runner. UBERWINDEN (5) resumes in a similar race to his last run six months ago when tenth. Definite top-three chance. MARUMO LUMIERE (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 20, finishing eighth over 1400m at Kochi. Now under the care of new trainer Kazumasa Kaneda. Definite top-three chance.
