GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Kramskoi, Boat Racer and Peach Peach can set a genuine tempo. MASANO CATTLEYA (2) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. CROWNING CUP (6) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1700m at Monbetsu. Expect him to play a major role. PEACH PEACH (9) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at Urawa, scoring by one length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Drawn out a bit but she is a great chance to go back-to-back. AUFGUSS (1) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 46 days. Last outing sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track on February 12 over 1500m, 2 len behind Good Deeds with 56kg at $13.20. At only start last preparation 4th of 11 at Urawa on November 27 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Yagiri Ibis carrying 55kg at $46.90. Fitter and worth including.
