GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Not a great deal of early speed and Nishino Lioness may be the one that takes it up. SUNRISE PROMISE (11) is a five-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 1500m at this track. Gets his chance to break the ice. NISHINO LIONESS (12) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and finished 16th over 1600m at Tokyo. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through in this suitable race. IL VIGORE (7) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing 15th over 2000m at Niigata. One of the main contenders. TENDERLY (2) missed the frame last start over 1600m at Kyoto, finishing 12th. Capable of featuring prominently here in easier.
