GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from T O Emerald leading Super Nany. T O EMERALD (6) displayed plenty of early toe over 1600m at Monbetsu last time and defied all challengers to score by 4 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within her grasp. TOA GOOD LUCK (9) is still a maiden after eight starts. Could only manage to finish eighth last time out over 1700m at Kokura Dirt following a minor placing at Hanshin Dirt over 2000m the run prior. Finds the right race and cannot be left out of calculations. MEISHO ROCKY (5) almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 1300m at this track. Can feature. MIYUKI MAVERICK (3) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Solid top-three chance.
