GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Fuku Formosa and Inubono Tsuki leading the charge. FUKU FORMOSA (10) showed good pace over 1500m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 2 lengths. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. ECORO LOVER (5) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 13 lengths into tenth. Has the talent to take this out. INUBONO TSUKI (3) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1700m at this track, beaten one length. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. SENRYO YAKUSHA (2) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into sixth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Chance with the aid of an inside stall.
