GOING:

Race 2 1000m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Lenis possessing enough dash to find the front. LENIS (9) backs up eight days after she was well-supported at Mizusawa and finished second over 850m. Good effort last start and shapes as a major threat. KITANO ARTEMIS (10) ran a nice race last time out over 1300m at Mizusawa, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. AGRIO (7) made progress last start to finish second over 850m at Mizusawa. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. RISK TAKER (1) last raced on June 22 when beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth at Mizusawa over 850m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
