GOING:

Race 4 900m

Track:      

Burgeon Forth and Gushichanno Hoshi can be prominent. GUSHICHANNO HOSHI (12) was a most impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. BURGEON FORTH (5) was back from a spell last start and finished sixth over 1300m at this track. Overall record is sound when second-up and should be better for that first-up run. Can feature with the right run. LUX DELIGHT (7) has switched yards since finishing third a month ago over 1200m at Monbetsu. Sure to make her presence felt. GREEN GRACIA (9) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a ninth over 1400m at Sonoda. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
