GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Dawdling affair devoid of a pacemaker. DAINO KOKUO (5) was close to a maiden win before a five-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a placing over 1200m at this track. Can pick up where he left off. Looks the one to beat. CRY OF THE EARTH (4) finished seventh last time at Sonoda in a disappointing performance. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. KURA MON (1) finished 11th at this track and distance at his last appearance seven months ago. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. EARTH HIME (3) finished eighth at this track and distance at her last appearance six months ago. One to consider fresh.
