GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

In a race without an obvious leader, either Bear Shot or Hida Sawayaka can roll them along. NOBLE KAGURA (3) was on the move turning for home and found the line strongly to finish second over 1500m at this track last time. Expect a bold showing again. ESTRELLITA (2) settled well back when a disappointing 12th over 1500m at this track last start. Nicely placed and look for an improved run. BEAR SHOT (4) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track when fifth. Rates highly in this field and deserves another chance. A SHIN HATHOR (8) was seventh over 1500m at this track at her latest appearance. Can figure in the finish this time.
