GOING:

Race 11 2000m

Track:      

Hiroshikun, Kana Always and Lucky Dream to take up the running at a decent tempo. HIROSHIKUN (4) showed good pace and went on to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Drawn to go forward again. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. RIKEA CAPPUCCINO (9) is a distance specialist who ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1800m at Morioka Dirt after being in contention on the bend. The engagement of H Yoshihara is noteworthy. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. SAKURA TOP KID (2) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1800m at Morioka Dirt after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. LUCKY DREAM (10) bounced back last start and landed the prize by a neck over 1800m at Morioka Dirt. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
