GOING: G

Race 12 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Eri Kohaku, A Shin Emerald and Monge Spy to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. ERI KOHAKU (6) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last three starts, the latest win coming over 1000m at Funabashi. Mai Fukuhara aboard again. Take beating. A SHIN EMERALD (4) was an impressive winner last time over 800m at this track, leading throughout and putting 2 lengths on her rivals. Sound record at this distance with four wins and seven minor placings from 14 runs and is among the leading chances. MONGE SPY (5) resumed over 900m at Kawasaki last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and can go on with it. YUNO ONE ONE (7) faded last time but was racing well prior so is worth including in calculations.
