GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

No noted leaders on paper so Great For You and Ikeno Kaguyahime are the ones likely to set the tempo. KOKUSEMPU (8) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up in fifth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed here and can finally break through. GREAT FOR YOU (3) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found a forward position then knocked up in the straight to finish seventh. Expected to do much better. IKENO KAGUYAHIME (5) was never in contention last time over 1400m at this track when she finished seventh. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve. SAKURA SENTIRE (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth here. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
