GOING:

Race 11 1800m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Miniature leading the way. MINIATURE (4) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 2000m at Mizusawa, making it three minor placings in a row. Has the talent to find the winners' list. A SHIN TURAN (5) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1400m at Mizusawa, getting home by a nose. Capable of another big performance. PONT NEUF (9) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at Kanazawa over 1500m. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. CAPE LIGHT (8) finished eighth last start over 1200m at this track in a disappointing performance. Better than last start and worth another chance.
