GOING:

Race 10 800m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Baishu and A Shin Regards leading from Komori Boulder. BELLAGIOHIDAKABOSI (11) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 800m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at Sonoda at the previous outing. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BAISHU (6) ran a strong second over 1230m at Sonoda two runs back then was below her best last time over 1400m when seventh, beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well at this shorter distance so worth another chance. A SHIN REGARDS (1) lines up for the first time since November 27. Looking to emulate his win at Monbetsu to kick off the last campaign. Has to be respected. KUKUNA ZINC (3) ran eighth at his latest appearance over 800m at this track, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Ticks all the right boxes.
