GOING: G

Race 10 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo headed by Fanyu and Master Plan. FANYU (5) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by 2 lengths as public elect last time out over 1200m at this track. Masashige Honda scored on her last time and retains the mount. Going up a level this time but she deserves plenty of thought. BLOOMING HILL (3) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on her last start second at this track over 1200m when beaten 2 lengths. Proving a good combination with Aoi Shinoya with three straight placings. Best form puts her right in this. MASTER PLAN (7) was in the money at each run this time in before scoring over 1000m at this track last time. Boasts an outstanding record at this circuit. Strong claims on his best form. GOLDEN SWEEP (6) is back from a spell of three months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Among the better hopes.
