GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, Sanono Dancer and Chukha will likely set the pace. CHUKHA (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. KASUKANA NOZOMI (2) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led until straightening before finishing fifth over 1400m at this track last time out. Hiroshi Ohara stays aboard. Bold showing expected. SANONO DANCER (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1400m. Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded four minor placings from six attempts. Has claims on her best efforts. HIRONO KIRAMEKI (3) settled well back from the inside draw last start before coming home nicely to finish 8 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
