GOING: S

Race 3 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Strong tempo with Tur Auf, Tosen Penelope and Takara Hunter going forward ahead of Meijo Bit and Casa Mila. TOSEN PENELOPE (1) finished sixth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt at her most recent appearance on March 22. Has switched to the Satoshi Kokubo yard. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. TUR AUF (2) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. CASA MILA (9) led and just failed to hang on last start over 1400m at Kawasaki when in the market to make it three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Another bold showing is likely. MEIJO BIT (3) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Will take catching.
