GOING:

Race 5 1900m

Track:      

Yurari Yurameite to set a strong tempo joined by Tosano Maihime pressing on from an outside draw. KIMINO HEART (12) returns from a break of ten weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1870m at Sonoda. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. RAPIDO FIORE (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1900m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race so he is perfectly placed to score. YAMANO ASHIOTO (9) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 16 lengths over 1800m at Ohi. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. PRINCESS DIA (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1300m at this track. This looks a good race for her and she is one of the key runners.
