GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Reiwa Epoch has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. MEISHO FUSO (3) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when second over 1500m at this track. Sure to go well again. NOBORI YUMIN (12) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when seventh over 2000m at Sapporo. Big class drop today and can atone. A SHIN ABYSS (7) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when she was 14th over 1600m at Chukyo. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role in this suitable assignment. DOLCE LUNA (6) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when 13th over 2000m at Sapporo. Better placed this time in easier and worth following up.
