GOING:

Race 1 820m

Track:      

Top The Smile should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. ALLENATORE (11) was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 820m at this track. Expect a big run. NISSHIN GEPPO (3) is back from a spell of five months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 800m at Himeji. One of the genuine hopes in the race. LIBELLULA (7) ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a neck over 820m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. YUBAE (8) produced a moderate effort last start when eighth over 820m at this track. Can figure in the finish this time.
