GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Kurino Champ and Scarlet Honey leading the charge. KURINO CHAMP (6) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish fourth over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Should be prominent from the outset and can play a major role. WARERA HOSHINOKO (11) drifted back from her wide draw last time then hit the line hard to finish third at this track over 1400m. A repeat of the latest effort will see her in the finish again. SCARLET HONEY (10) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1230m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone. YUNA BRIGHT (9) missed the placings last start when eighth over 820m at this track. Out in trip and worth consideration here.
