GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Lady Pegasus leading Izu Jo Hero. VESTLANDET (2) did little and finished rearward over 2000m at Kokura last start, a less impressive effort than his eighth on debut at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Beautifully placed in this much easier assignment and is sure to play a major role. IZU JO HERO (4) is back after a break of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings here. Has switched to the Norihiko Hiramatsu stable. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. SAYONO BAKUSHIN (6) raced once in the maiden preparation when finishing down the track at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m back on January 14. Open to improvement and can feature in this lesser challenge. MY LUCKY DAY (7) is another who will find this easier. Next best.
