GOING:

Race 4 1230m

Track:      

La La Vanille and Katsu are both expected to press forward and take it up. LA LA VANILLE (5) has registered four minor placings from five runs this campaign. Produced another good performance last start when second over 820m at this track after she was always up in the leading division. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BUCHI A DREAM (6) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly here and is a strong chance to break through. LOVELY LORA (3) finished fourth at her last appearance over 1230m at this track on June 11. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. TRUE BEAUTY (7) finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1230m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
