GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Poppin and Shiawaseno Lamp will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. NISHINO BRYANT (1) finished second at Mizusawa two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at Mizusawa, finishing 7 lengths back in seventh. Finds a nice race and can make amends. SALT ROCK (3) failed to figure again last time over 2000m at Urawa, beaten 20 lengths into tenth. Looks well placed here and can finally break through. NYAN NYAN (5) was comfortably accounted for when tenth last time out over 850m at Mizusawa, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MEINER DANK (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Mizusawa. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 at Mizusawa on April 7 over 1300m, 0.5 len behind Sung Gulidangdang carrying 56kg at $1.70. An inside stall is a big advantage.
