GOING:

Race 11 1870m

Track:      

The pace should be on from the outset with Bellagio Dream, Okemaru and King Spica pushing on from their low draws. OKEMARU (6) is a promising type who is unbeaten after six runs, the latest over 1700m at this track. Unbeaten in three starts fresh and will go close again. KIMINO HEART (1) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by half a length last time out over 1870m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Likely to feature. BELLAGIO DREAM (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten 0.8 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. A SHIN HARRIER (8) was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth in a 1400m contest at Kasamatsu two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
