GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Hiro Shige Crystal should lead at a strong tempo. HIRO SHIGE CRYSTAL (5) was beaten just a head last start when second in a small field over 1300m at Urawa. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Likely to feature. RYUNO JACK (7) won at this track and distance at his last outing 15 months ago. Rates highly and should take some beating. PARADISE BEAT (6) broke through for her maiden win over 1500m at Urawa last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. PRINCESS CHIARA (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
