GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Tochino Hero has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. QUEEN OF SOUL (7) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1400m at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. AQUARIDS (2) ran below expectations last time but was good in winning at Mizusawa prior. Best figures measure up nicely. Can bounce back. TOCHINO HERO (6) went forward last start over 1600m at Mizusawa and held on well for second. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. MISHIRO WAY (8) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1900m at Mizusawa. Likely to run well.
