GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Hakusan Pioneer and Hollywood Smile leading the way. HAKUSAN PIONEER (4) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Sure to go well again. HOLLYWOOD SMILE (3) got home by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Shoma Kato stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. HAKUSAN ALTAIR (5) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track when beaten 4 lengths. Won't get a better chance. SHOGA FUKUKITARU (2) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 7 lengths back in third over 1500m at this track. Place hope off that run.
