GOING:

Race 12 1200m

Track:      

Plenty of pace evident with Idol and Live Amedeo leading the way from Kotatsude Mikan and Yagiri Dream. IDOL (6) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Has switched to the Yasuto Mori stable. Sure to make her presence felt. KOTATSUDE MIKAN (8) showed good speed over 1200m at this track and led throughout to score. Same rider aboard and expected to go very well. YAGIRI DREAM (9) ran well below his best last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth at $4.80. Solid top-three prospect. SEISHO FUJI (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1200m at this track. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
