GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Realisation and Haru Botan will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. HIRABOKU HERO (4) scored at this track when resuming and has run well at both starts since, the latest a third over 2000m at this track. Finds a nice race and can add to the strong recent record. KURINO FRONTIER (8) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a second over 1500m at this track on January 17. Soichi Kato sticks. Sure to play a big role. ERATOSTHENES (1) turned in a modest performance when tenth last time out over 2000m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back. REALISATION (3) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only seventh over 1500m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead and deserves respect on best figures.
