GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Haretahini and Witch Bonita leading the way. HARETAHINI (6) is a last-start winner over 920m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by one length. One of the top chances again. KAITO AZALEE (1) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1500m at this track, an improvement on her tenth at Tokyo the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. SEIUN LEGAME (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 5.5 lengths when seventh over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAMA COLORIN (4) could only manage to finish 16th, beaten 9 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1400m at Tokyo. In the mix.
