Race 4 1300m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo from Pure Collection, Draig and Renegade. DRAIG (8) last appeared when eighth over 1200m at Kokura 11 weeks ago. Now under the care of new trainer Ryuichiro Kuratomi. Comes here with definite claims. PURE COLLECTION (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KAPARAMIP (6) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1300m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. VIRTUAL IDOL (2) was seventh in a 1300m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
