Maiden Race 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace with Snow Garnet and Tureis up front, pressured by Lightning Rod and Shine For Me. LIGHTNING ROD (2) pushed forward from a wide gate fresh and was game in defeat. Ideal draw now and fitter. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHINE FOR ME (16) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1200m at Nakayama. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Tokyo over 1400m. Ready to find winning form. SNOW LANCE (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. KUROKAMI JO (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Hanshin Dirt over 1200m. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
