GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead with Candleberry, Adamas Minoru and Snow Patrol in advance of Positive Spin and Viva Moon. CANDLEBERRY (9) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1400m at Mizusawa. Goes well at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and is sure to go well. SOL DE VERANO (1) made it three wins in succession last time out when he scored by a nose over 1400m at Mizusawa. Winning rider Yuri Takahashi retains the mount. Looks well placed so expect another big run. POSITIVE SPIN (5) finished second behind A Shin Turan at Mizusawa over this distance at her latest outing. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts four wins and one placing. One of the contenders. ADAMAS MINORU (4) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when fourth over 1400m at Mizusawa, beaten 2 lengths. In the mix.
