GOING:

Race 4 1000m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Yamanin Aries, Sheer Elegance and Glorious Aspen going forward ahead of The Nature and Sarasa Go Sign. SARASA GO SIGN (9) didn't do a bad job to finish 1.3 lengths away in fourth last start over 1000m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Can play a pivotal role. THE NATURE (3) made progress last start to finish second over 1000m at this track. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. YAMANIN ARIES (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. BYOBUGAURA (12) resumes from a spell of nine months and is having his first outing under new trainer Junji Tanaka. Finished seventh at Sapporo over 1500m at the opening run last time in work. Can feature fresh.
