GOING:

Race 3 820m

Track:      

Safranal should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. FUKU HUALIEN (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at Monbetsu after being in the firing line on the bend. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. SAFRANAL (5) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish 11th at her latest appearance over 820m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. CRESCO HARUKA (10) is having her second run after she failed to threaten on debut last time, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in fourth over 820m at this track. With natural improvement she can feature in the finish. KAIRI (9) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished ninth over 820m at this track. Hard to knock.
