GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Pharma D'or driving forward, while Trips and Ange Luna pressure. ANGE LUNA (4) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has racked up wins at her last five runs, the latest scoring over 1400m at this track. Won only start at the distance and worth following up. BLAZE EDGE (11) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1500m at Funabashi, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and is among the winning hopes again. GOOD DEEDS (3) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at Ohi with success over 1500m at Funabashi five weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. NURSERY TALE (2) is a progressive three-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1600m at Ohi on December 31. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Reunites with Takayuki Yano who has two wins from three rides. Among the top-three hopes.
