GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Anticipate Taisei Natura, Iihi and Ho O Ranger to set a strong tempo. M T HIBIKI (7) finished seventh two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn over 1300m at Mizusawa. Nicely placed to take this out. ADELINE (10) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1300m at Mizusawa but that followed a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing which reads really well for this. Anticipating a better run this time. TAISEI NATURA (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1300m at Mizusawa after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. HO O RANGER (11) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at Mizusawa, beaten 2.25 lengths. Rating there stacks right up.
