GOING:

Race 11 1300m

Track:      

Hagakureno Hata to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. HAGAKURENO HATA (4) has not raced since being well supported on her debut on December 6 over 900m at this track when she finished sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Big chance with race experience now on board. KIRISHIMA MAKFI (1) is a three-year-old colt by Makfi out of Air Email set to debut for the Hisami Yano stable. Looks set to run well. Betting holds the key. PINK SOUTHPAW (8) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on February 28. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. BELLAGIO MARCUS (7) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 8 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Should be about the money.
