GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Hachikin may lead the way over Kitano Miracle. KITANO MIRACLE (8) resumes from a spell of 19 months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at Ohi. Looks the one to beat. HACHIKIN (5) was prominent into the straight last time but faltered late to finish fourth over 1000m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. SCHON ARIES (1) has been out of the winner's list for a while, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1200m. Fuma Ono gets the best out of this five-year-old mare. Nicely placed to feature. SAKURA STREAM (4) last raced on May 20 when 12th at this track over 1200m. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player.
