GOING: G

Race 4 900m

Track: GOOD      

A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. MOMONO KOTONOHA (9) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MUSIK HOREN (6) is a 15-start maiden who finished 12th at her most recent appearance over 900m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. SOUND PRIMO (1) returns from a spell of five months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Sure to make her presence felt. MONKEY KOALA (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Funabashi. Fitter this time in a suitable race will prove harder to beat.
