GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

From the wide gate Marilyn Barows should cross and lead. MARILYN BAROWS (12) narrowly missed last time when second over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt when she was prominent throughout. Has strung together four straight minor placings this time in work. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LUX DREAM (14) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Kyoto Dirt over 1200m, beaten 6 lengths. Chance to break his maiden status with that run under his belt. KOKOROZASUNO (13) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Failed at the only run last prep over 1400m at this track. Nice fourth on debut at Kyoto Dirt at the only other appearance. Can bounce back this time in work. KUROKAMI JO (6) finished sixth over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt at her most recent appearance on April 11. Has to be respected.
