GOING:

Race 10 1870m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Ena Animal leading the way. NARITA SERENO (9) finished out of the money when fourth over 2200m at Chukyo three-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and sharp improvement is expected in this suitable contest. I SAMAIN (10) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 9 lengths over 1700m at this track. Winning rider Takanori Nagai stays aboard and she is a solid top-three hope. LUCKY PROOF (1) defied her big price last time when beaten just half a length into second over 1700m at this track. Shapes as one to consider. ENA ANIMAL (5) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Has the class to find the winners' list.
