GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Expecting Miss Forte to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. CRYSTAL NAIL (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. RYUNO WORLD (14) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when seventh over 1400m at this track three weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of talent. Solid hope. MISS FORTE (10) is resuming from a spell of four-and-a-half months and having her first run for the Terunobu Fujita yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Monbetsu over 1000m. Sound top-three prospects. RHEIN GRAZIA (12) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Can sneak into the finish.
