GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Lovely Senna and Xiao Xing Yun leading from Flora Venus. FLORA VENUS (7) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last three starts, the latest win coming over 1500m at this track. Soichi Kato is aboard again and she is the one to beat again. POMERANIAN GOD (11) ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1700m at this track. Deserves plenty of thought. LOVELY SENNA (5) was going okay prior to finishing back in 11th last start over 1400m at this track. Seigo Tsukamoto has a strong winning record aboard the three-year-old colt so he should be given another chance. YOSHINO SURPRISE (2) is a four-start maiden who finished tenth when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Fukushima. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time in this suitable race.
