GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Sansan Taiyo and Dream Sunday possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. TSUMO (8) has two wins and one placing from three starts this preparation. Scored dominantly last start at this track over 1400m after being racing in the leading division. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. T M DAITAKA (2) is in a purple patch of form with his fourth straight win coming last time out over 1750m at this track. Far too good last time and expected to go right on with it. HAKUAI ASSIST (3) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Among the better hopes. KASHINO NICE GUY (4) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
