GOING:

Race 3 1000m

Track:      

The trio Misora, Intruder and Tsuwa will set a strong tempo. INTRUDER (11) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third over 1000m at this track. Ready to go a couple better. MEISHO KARAKUSA (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 1000m at this track with today's rider Watanabe engaged. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Likely to feature. HEARTY EYES (3) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was handy all the way over 1000m at this track. Well placed and gets her chance. MISORA (8) led for much of the way before fading right out of it late to finish adrift in tenth at this track last time out. Can bounce back.
