GOING: G

Race 4 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Slick tempo to be established by Genesis Mizar, Arajai and Vina My Tho. VINA MY THO (8) showed good early muster and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start over 800m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot go on to salute. FREDERIC (7) has returned in good order this campaign. Ran well but found a couple better last time over 1400m at Mizusawa after registering his maiden win first-up the run before. Strips fitter and is among the leading chances. MAMEZO DREAM (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 11th over 800m at this track. Will strip fitter and is ready to show what she can do. TAKAMARU CART (3) never got into the race when 12th last time at this track but drops in weight for this. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
