GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Fast tempo assured with Nanchatte Celeb, Koko Kyunkyun and Aoi Alzard going toe-to-toe. MISTY RISE (1) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when second over 1200m at Monbetsu. Big chance to break through. AOI ALZARD (2) pushed forward and led throughout to score dominantly over 820m at this track last time. Will be prominent from the low draw and is a top chance. NANCHATTE CELEB (12) showed good early speed over 820m at this track last time and went on to salute by half a length. Should be prominent in the run again despite the awkward gate. Will be hard to run down again. SARASA CHALLENGE (6) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 1500m at Kawasaki. In the mix.
