GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Chikichiki Cheetah to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. TAMAMO ITTOSEI (4) is coming off a last-start fourth over 1400m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. SHOW VALENCE (1) is down in grade after finishing seventh over 1400m here after she finished second two starts ago at this track. Anticipating sharp improvement. KURINO ORION (9) settled well back when sixth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. In the mix. TRAIN TRAIN (5) turned in an eye-catching run over 1400m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Solid top-three prospects.
