GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Angel Slap going forward from the good gate. ASTORE TIARA (1) finished fifth last start over 1500m at this track in an improved run. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. KAI BRUNO (8) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1500m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ANGEL SLAP (2) last appeared when she finished seventh over 1000m at Monbetsu on October 31. Has switched to the Akiko Okita stable. Can make her presence felt fresh. ANOTHER GHOST (6) finished sixth at his most recent appearance over 1500m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
