GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Sadamu Target has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SADAMU TARGET (1) started at $1.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Mizusawa over 1600m. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Nicely placed to bounce back. MIYAGI VALOR (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1600m at Mizusawa. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in and is among the leading chances. K T RAINBOW (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing 11th at Ohi over 1400m. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. NISHINO BRYANT (8) was in the money two starts back at Mizusawa but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth at Mizusawa over 1900m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
