GOING:

Race 2 1230m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Hinata Lady and Enough Said leading from Steel Agnes. SHIZUKANO UMI (6) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a nose here. Winning rider Sakito Yamamoto sticks and she is a key runner. HINATA LADY (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start. Steps up a level but she is good enough to figure in the finish. SATIN BODICE (11) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1230m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and five placings. Among the chances. ENOUGH SAID (3) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at Himeji. Sound prospects.
