GOING:

Race 4 820m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Eiraku and Key Of Heart leading the way. SUMMER ANGEL (3) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2 lengths at this track over 820m. Sure to run well again. KEY OF HEART (6) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 820m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in the firing line on the turn. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of another big run. KURINO AWESOME (4) was prominent throughout last time when second over 820m at this track. Winning chance. EIRAKU (5) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of another big performance.
