GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Hot pace certain with Sound Tutu, Cresco Taishi and A Shin La Seine keen to take up the running. A SHIN LA SEINE (7) scored last start at this course and distance after she was prominent at the turn. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from three starts. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and is sure to be in the finish. CRESCO TAISHI (9) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Can figure prominently. SOUND TUTU (3) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1230m here. Among the main hopes. CEPHEID LOOP (4) last appeared when she saluted over 800m at Himeji on February 24. Can make her presence felt while fresh.
