GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Rattrapante to lead Hakusan Muzzle at just a moderate tempo. RATTRAPANTE (7) put the writing on the wall last start when she finished a close second at this track over 1300m. Taku Kawashima retains the ride. Shapes as a key runner. AMBROSIA (2) was always well out of her ground last start when 12th over 2000m at Urawa. Will enjoy a drop in class so she could be hard to hold out. VESPERINA (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1300m. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw. HAKUSAN MUZZLE (1) ran below expectations last start, finishing 11th here over 1300m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

The run before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 12 at this track on March 31 over 1400m, 6 len behind Yoshio Drive carrying 56kg at $10.50. Genuine chance this time around.
