GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Lack of early speed means Noisetier could find the lead. VAINQUEUR CITY (11) was prominent at the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at Kawasaki after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. YASAKA SOLEIL (5) missed the frame last time when ninth at Kawasaki. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Can make amends. KASUKANA NOZOMI (10) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1300m. Likely improver with strong prospects. WHITE ASH (1) finished second at Funabashi two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at Funabashi, finishing 6 lengths back in 11th. Nicely placed to make amends.
