GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Givre and Tenro ahead of Dancing Erika and Principal Act. GIVRE (8) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past six starts. Last time out he finished second over 1500m at this track. Top chance once again. PRINCIPAL ACT (1) showed good speed to lead over 1500m at this track last start but faded right out of it to finish seventh. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. RHEIN ARTEMIS (4) last raced just six days ago when sixth over 1200m at Funabashi. Should be competitive in this suitable race. DANCING ERIKA (2) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at this track, finishing 10 lengths back in 11th. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
