GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Ayasan Nemunemu, Premier Rich and Happy Gemini to control the tempo. DESTINY HOPE (10) is a last start winner over 1000m at Monbetsu, making it two victories from three appearances this campaign. In form and rates a key chance again. AYASAN NEMUNEMU (9) is still a maiden after nine starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back when resuming before finishing a disappointing 14th over 1600m at this track last start. Worth another chance. STRIDE STAR (2) closed last prep with a fifth over 1200m at this track on April 16. Worth noting that she opened the last campaign with a minor placing at this track over 1200m. Taniuchi Kanta stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Should be involved in the finish. S K BLUE (4) has not appeared since she finished second on debut over 1400m at this track on August 15. One of the main contenders.
