GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Scented Jewel and Chiaro Veloce leading the way over Meisho Buyu. DALI (3) missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Best figures measure up and is well placed to feature here. CHIARO VELOCE (9) is back at the races for the first time since February 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Hakodate. Capable of playing a major role. SCENTED JEWEL (5) did little and finished eighth over 1230m at this track last start. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. SAKURA GRACIEUX (8) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Finds a nice race and has claims.
