GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Big Better should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. NAOMINI DEREDEREYA (9) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1700m at this track when she was handy all the way. Meeting a deeper field this time but is in the mix. SENTIMENT (3) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by one length over 1400m at this track. Leading hope again. NAMURA AVA (8) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she finished fourth over 1500m at this track. Meets some better types this time but a better run will not surprise. TOMA (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish fifth over 1500m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
