GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Ciel Ruby, Ieyasu and Hosumani En to control the tempo. IEYASU (8) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 5 lengths. Yoshiki Yamada has registered two minor placings when on board. Leading contender. ICHI THE AN (11) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Gets her chance to atone. CIEL RUBY (5) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. HOVAWART (12) finished in third at this track two starts ago then finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Has ability and definitely worth including.
