Race 11 1600m Track: AW True |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of early pace from Foolish Hobby, Bonheur Barows and Michino Ange vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. FOOLISH HOBBY (5) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last five starts, the latest win coming over 1600m at Funabashi. Kept fresh for this and looks the testing material again. MIRACLE TIARA (11) returns from a spell of four months and is having her first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Sapporo Dirt over 1700m. Rates highly so expect her to be prominent. COLORFUL CUBE (1) settled well back when 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1600m at Ohi last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth at Urawa the run before. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. ATER ASTRAEA (10) is back after a break of three months. Looking to emulate her win at Funabashi to kick off the last campaign. Definite top-three chance.
