GOING:

IIDE TOKUBETSU 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo anticipated with Hakusan Eagle leading the way. POWER SNATCH (14) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break 12 weeks ago over 1400m at Tokyo. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Akihide Tsumura goes well on this three-year-old and is back on top today. Should be in the finish. EVENING TIDE (4) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break ten weeks ago over 1400m at Tokyo. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Should camp just off the leaders. Best figures should see her run well. SUCCESS CALLA (15) is a handy type who resumes after a break of six months. Only appeared once last prep when she finished ninth over 1400m at Tokyo, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has two wins to her name when fresh from a spell. Shapes as one to consider. ERIKA CARINA (8) last appeared when fifth over 1400m at Tokyo nine weeks ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. Not to be discounted.
