GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Mocha Chan leading the way. LA TRADICION (11) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 7 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but she can figure in the finish. MOCHA CHAN (7) disappointed last start when a modest ninth, beaten 22 lengths, over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Winning claims. BEST TANGO (3) comfortably held last start when friendless in betting over 1400m at this track. Looks tested again.
