Race 3 1200m Track: AW True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Token Shun, Daita Valkyrie and Junshin Karen going forward ahead of Hakuai Laura and Y T Queen. TOKEN SHUN (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1000m at Monbetsu. Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. DAITA VALKYRIE (1) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 800m at Kasamatsu. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Takeshi Hasegawa. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. JUNSHIN KAREN (11) is a progressive three-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1200m at this track on May 8 which was the only run of that prep. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Capable of testing this field. CHEAP IMPACT (10) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
