GOING:

Race 2 1000m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Castanea Rose leading Next To You. HASHIRE OZAKISAN (10) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track after she was in the firing line on the corner. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CASTANEA ROSE (7) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fourth over 1000m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. NEXT TO YOU (2) is a 10-start maiden who finished tenth at her most recent appearance over 1300m at Saga. Worth including in this suitable contest. SHAA (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into sixth over 1000m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
