GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Derma Opera leading Harmony Hokuto. DERMA OPERA (9) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 4 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Breaks from a wide alley but he is sure to go well. RYUNO HINAGIKU (3) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing second over 1400m at Urawa. Fitter and should go well. HARMONY HOKUTO (4) missed the placings when returning from a spell last time out over this distance at this track. Form here is strong boasting nine wins from 15 starts. Should be competitive. ENRAMBU (6) finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
