GOING:

Race 3 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Holomua heading them off. HOLOMUA (1) did a great job to score by 8 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. ASTRAL GATE (10) scored over 1600m at this track at his most recent appearance on January 29. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Yoriaki Murakami. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ESPIEGLE (7) finished eighth, beaten 8 lengths, last time out over 1800m here. Has a very good record here including two wins from four starts and shapes as one of the leading contenders. BABY MONSTRE (9) is a handy type who resumes after a break of three months. At his last appearance he finished fifth over 1400m at this course, beaten 9 lengths. Form at this track is hard to knock with two wins from six starts. Among the top-three hopes.

Previously second-up 2nd of 7 at Monbetsu on September 11 over 1700m, 2 len behind Parikotopanana with 55kg at $1.70. Impossible to knock and looks the one again. Improver with winning prospects.
