Race 2 1500m Track: |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Without a great deal of early pace evident Verrine may lead the way over Hakusan Hanabi. HAKUSAN HANABI (2) finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1000m at Niigata when first up from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Meets an inferior line-up and is the one to beat. FESTIVE IRIS (1) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Fukushima over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. BACHELOR PARTY (11) has switched yards since finishing 15th a month ago over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. One of the genuine hopes in the race. VIRTUAL IDOL (3) is returning from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Finished 17th at Hanshin over 1600m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Kazuyoshi Kato.
