GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. SORANCHAN (9) is back from a break of seven months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when sixth over 1800m at Niigata. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Kazumune Ito. Should be hard to stop. BIANCA (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Nicely placed to make amends. KAN VIVRE SUN (4) finished seventh two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 850m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SKY ROCK (10) finished ninth over 1300m at this track at his most recent appearance on September 29. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
