GOING: G

UHB SHO 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Despite the wide draw Fioraia should cross and set a genuine tempo. JUSTIN EARTH (4) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past four starts. Last time out he finished third over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Top chance once again. BIRTH CRY (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Fukushima over 1200m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. NAMURA ATOM (8) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1200m at Hakodate, finishing ninth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Second up record is very strong. Among the winning hopes. SONNIG (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Hakodate over 1200m. Nicely placed to turn things around.
