GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with A Shin Peridot possessing enough dash to find the front. AOI HIBIKI (9) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing eighth over 1200m at this track 12 weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Can make a winning return. IMMACULATE (8) turned in a better run last time to finish third over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GINREI (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. SPEAK OF DEVIL (1) has not been a factor of late. Two starts back missed the placings over 900m at Kawasaki. Most recently she failed to complete the course at Urawa.
