GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

From the outside gate Bellagio Zero can cross and take up the running. TAMBA BUSHO (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and likely to measure up this time. IZA GREEN LIGHT (11) did a great job to score by a head over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. NISHINO HINAARARE (3) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth. Solid top-three prospects. BELLAGIO ZERO (12) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1200m at Monbetsu after a win there at the previous outing. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
