GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track: AW      

The speedy Lichterfelde should find the front with Black Mut and Radish Dance on her heels. RADISH DANCE (3) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 3 lengths back in second over 1400m at Urawa. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. LICHTERFELDE (10) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. ONE SHOT (2) finished tenth over 1400m at Kasamatsu at his most recent appearance on December 30. Has switched to the Satoshi Kokubo stable. Makes plenty of appeal. ITSUTSUBOSHI (7) returned from a spell three weeks ago when finishing fifth over 1200m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
