GOING: G

Race 3 900m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting Loughnashade to take up the running with Noble Gluck and Yumemiru Porika close at hand. PORTA FELICE (4) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished sixth over 1400m at this track. Has ability and deserves another chance. INTENSE DRIVE (8) is resuming from a spell of five months and having her first run for the Yuya Yamazaki yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Monbetsu over 1000m. Likely to play a major role. LOUGHNASHADE (1) is back after a break of four months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 900m at this track. Bold showing is expected. IKUNOGA KITAZO (3) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing ninth. Suitably placed and back in trip can turn things around.
