GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Abundant pace from Dream Trip, Win Magnolia and Jun Velvet vying for the lead with Precursor on their backs. DREAM TRIP (8) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on February 11 over 1400m when she scored by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Takahiro Imai retains the mount. Major player. JUN VELVET (9) showed good pace over 1500m at this track last time and dug deep to score by one length. Should go forward from the awkward gate and expect another big run. WIN MAGNOLIA (7) last appeared three weeks ago over 1400m at Kasamatsu when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Tsugio Haraguchi stable. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. BOL (6) got off the mark two starts back over 1500m here before finishing third last time over 1500m at this track. Can go on with it.
