GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Sand Falcon and Kung Fu Dance up front. SAND FALCON (6) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by 1.75 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. KUNG FU DANCE (8) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at Mizusawa over 1400m. Should measure up again. TORA NESS HARP (5) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.5 lengths win at Mizusawa over 850m. Bold showing expected again. STARLIGHT TAIL (12) bounced back last start and got the job done by 2 lengths over 850m at Mizusawa. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
