GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Ecoro Vega to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. BALALALALALALA (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. TAKESHO LOUIS (3) won at this track and distance at his last outing four-and-a-half months ago. Capable of playing a major role. ECORO VEGA (6) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PURE JASMINE (2) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1200m at Monbetsu. Among the main hopes.
