GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track: AW      

With little in the way of early speed Kurino Novae may well find the front. TENZAN BALLERINA (6) started at $5 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths at this track over 1400m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BAJIGAKU MISORA (1) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. CERRADO (3) hasn't featured at her last two runs, the latest when beaten 15 lengths into 12th at Tokyo Dirt. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here. KURINO NOVAE (5) last appeared two months ago over 1300m at Saga when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Yuya Yamazaki stable. Can figure.
