GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Small field but a good tempo is expected with Hakusan Tsukimitei, Seven Days and Double Attack pressing on. HAKUSAN TSUKIMITEI (1) scored by 2.5 lengths last start at this track over this distance after he was prominent at the turn. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from five starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. SISTER ACT (6) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths to spare over today's journey. Is yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Definite winning hope. SEVEN DAYS (5) returns from a spell of 17 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Niigata over 2850m. Sound top-three prospects. ROMANCE GRAY (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Capable of featuring prominently.

The start before that 4th of 12 at this track on May 13 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Hakusan Pioneer with 57kg at $11.20. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
