GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Expecting M T Uno to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. M T UNO (4) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Scored over 1400m at Kawasaki at the start of last prep. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Hiroto Kawashima. Rates highly and should take some beating. GUSHICHANNO HOSHI (1) finished out of the money when 11th over 1200m at Kokura six-and-a-half weeks ago. Perfectly placed and can feature in the finish. LOVE ME ERE (2) resumes in a similar race to her last run five-and-a-half months ago when third. Worth plenty of thought. AYAMEIRO (7) has been kept fresh since finishing second over 1300m at Kochi two months ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
