GOING:

Race 3 1230m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Kazutoshikun may lead the way over Namura Annika. ANYA WAKUWAKU (1) finished fifth at this track and distance at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Look for a big run fresh. COSMO TSUKASA (6) missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track, finishing fifth. In the mix. NAMURA ANNIKA (7) was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. KAZUTOSHIKUN (2) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 820m at this track. Has ability and is worth including.
