GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Kitasan Bambina and Ardour Grow leading the way. KITASAN BAMBINA (3) improved last time out to score by a neck over 1500m at this track. Makoto Okabe scored on her last time and retains the ride. On current form she is one of the chief contenders. CHROME NOIR (1) finished fifth over 1700m at this track at his most recent appearance on November 12. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Fujigasaki Kazuhito. Capable of playing a major role for the new stable. ARDOUR GROW (10) missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, finishing sixth. The engagement of Hitomi Miyashita is noteworthy. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. BABYLON (11) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when ninth over 1700m at this track. Can bounce back.
