GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Solid pace from Mo Mo Green and Taisei Natura pushing forward with Montenars in close attendance. MO MO GREEN (4) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at Mizusawa over 1300m. Sure to run well again. MANSUR (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then finished eighth in a 1300m contest at Mizusawa two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TAISEI NATURA (3) did little and finished in seventh over 1400m at Mizusawa last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth at Mizusawa the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. RANDOM STORY (10) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1400m at Mizusawa. Top-three prospects.
