---|---|---|---|---|
Hollyhock should spear straight to the front of the small field. HOLLYHOCK (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Monbetsu. Now under the care of new trainer K Kozaki. Looks a winning chance. SOUND NOVA (3) is a distance specialist who improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Expected to be in the mix. MARUYO NIKIYA (6) missed the frame last time when fifth here after a run of two wins on end. Boasts a strong record here at this distance and is one of the main contenders. HAKUSAN MIGNON (4) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when she was 14th over 1400m at Chukyo. Likely improver with top-three prospects back at this level.
