GOING:

FUKUSHIMA CHUO TV HAI 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Pace looks strong with Ignition pressing on from an outside draw, joining Wonder Kisara. WONDER KISARA (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 23 starts. Was again denied last start when she found one better over 1200m at Kokura. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AINO SENSHI (14) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Will be better for that outing and is expected to run well again. ASTI SPUMANTE (3) came from well back on the bend to score last time out over 1200m at Kokura. Expected to be there at the business end. ITSUMO NIKONIKO (9) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1200m at Hanshin, beaten 0.8 lengths. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up.
