GOING:

Race 11 2000m

Track:      

Expecting Miniature and Queen Card to press forward and set the tempo. MINIATURE (6) built on a nice third two starts back at Mizusawa with a win as public elect over 1800m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 30 lengths. Going up a level this time but she can win again. LOVE LOVE PYRO (8) met with solid support last start over 1800m at Monbetsu when second, beaten 4 lengths. Reunites with Keita Nishi who has nine wins when on board. Leading contender. ZAO (7) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fourth over 1800m at Funabashi. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. MINATO MINAITO (5) was sent out at $15.30 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1800m at this track. Record here is impressive with two wins from five starts. Among the top-three hopes.
