GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Svarog has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. HIRONO BIG BANG (5) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when ninth over 2860m at Kokura. Likely to feature back at this level. GREEN GREEN (1) showed good early speed when resuming last start before boxing on well and finishing second over today's trip at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SUIMO AMAIMO (3) missed the placings last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up and look for an improved run. HANANO KUROKO (4) finished sixth at this track and distance at her last appearance six-and-a-half months ago. Can make her presence felt fresh.
