GOING:

Race 4 1100m

Track:      

Field full of first starters which usually means a keen tempo. NAMARA MENKOI (1) is a two-year-old filly by Admire Moon out of Aete Ureshii on debut for the Kuniaki Sasaki stable. Looks set to run well. Betting watch recommended. RIKO PATRIOT (6) is a two-year-old filly by California Chrome out of Riko Silhouette stepping out on debut for the Takahiro Matsumoto stable. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. FUKU FORMOSA (7) is a well-bred two-year-old filly on debut. By Taisei Legend from Agape who has produced plenty of winners. Comes from a stable that has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Should be thereabouts despite a tricky gate. BLAZE EDGE (8) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Henny Hughes from Sharpen Edge who has been a most successful broodmare. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Junji Tanaka stable. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to her career despite a tricky draw.
