GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

In a race without an obvious leader, either Pod Smoker or Anko can roll them along. VELOCIA (7) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished 12th at Kokura over 2000m. Improvement to come and this is his chance to break through. O K ELEGANCE (9) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished rearward over 1400m at Hanshin. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CHERRY BLOOM (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Hakodate. Ideally placed this time and can play a more significant role. MIDARESETSUGETSUKA (2) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield over 1800m at Fukushima. Can run a better race.
