GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured with La Valse and Bachelor Party leading the way over Cosmo Cantik. HAPPINESS MIND (1) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Well placed to repeat the dose. CHORUS LINE (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Niigata. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. K TWO KORUUNI (6) was below her best last time when eighth over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. KIRISHIMA KOTOBUKI (12) missed the frame last start, finishing sixth at this track over 1300m. Expect a better run.
