GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Maria Bouquet should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. MARIA BOUQUET (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1300m at this track. Will again be prominent from the outset. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. YUI DINOSAUR (3) has switched yards since finishing second a month ago over 1200m at Monbetsu. Worth serious consideration. CROWN TECH (5) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1300m contest at this track by 5 lengths. Sure to be competitive. LUMINOUS FLUX (4) was beaten for early speed and safely held to the line when eighth over 1300m at Kochi eight weeks ago. Better than last start and is a chance in this line up.
