GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Fujisan Y C C possessing enough dash to find the front. TAKU (3) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a nose over 1300m at Mizusawa. Winning rider Ryo Takamatsu stays aboard and he is a leading contender. FUJISAN Y C C (2) continued the encouraging form and wasn't far away last time when third over 1300m at Mizusawa. Nice alley and worth serious consideration. GAMBANTEINN (11) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Ohi when she finished seventh. This is her first run for the Kudou Yuukou stable. Well-placed and is among the chances. GRADUATE (9) finished second last time over 1300m at Mizusawa, beaten a nose. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
