GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Hiroshikun and Bell Pit can lead the small field. BELL PIT (6) scored last start by one length at this track over 2000m. Has a very strong winning record here including 22 wins from 25 starts. Major player. HIROSHIKUN (2) went forward last start over 2000m at Mizusawa and held on well for third. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. CREW DRAGON (5) missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, finishing fifth. Steps up a level but he is good enough to turn the recent form around. TOSEN JACK (3) has been out of the winner's list for a while, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1700m. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
