GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Lack of early speed means Kitasan Fugetsu could find the lead. DIAMANT COEUR (7) is still a maiden after eight starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1200m at Morioka Dirt following a minor placing at Morioka Dirt over 1200m the run prior. Big chance to break through. REGGAE FLAVOR (6) has not appeared since he finished third over 1400m at this track on July 17. Leading contender. KIMINI MEROMERO (5) drew wide last time and was safely held when seventh over this track and trip. Great chance to bounce back. TOSEN ELIZA (4) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on June 20 when fourth, beaten 8 lengths. Has to be respected.
