GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Chiyono Forever should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. A QUI MIEUX MIEUX (3) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths as favourite last time out over 1200m at this track. Tatsunori Sugawara scored on her last time and retains the ride. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (7) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1200m at this track last time out. Today might be his day. TRIFOGLIO (2) finished fourth over 1200m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOUCH DOWN (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1000m at Monbetsu. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
