GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Mignon and Anklet Heart matching motors. MIGNON (3) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 3 lengths over 1900m at Kochi. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ANTIKYTHIRA (1) was out of the money last start over 1870m at Sonoda when seventh. This is a nice drop in grade so she is set to turn things around. KURINO MEGAMI ACE (2) was in the money two starts back at Sonoda but couldn't back that up when unplaced over 1900m at Kochi last time out. Certainly worth another chance. ACUTE GIRL (8) was below her best last time when eighth over 1870m at Sonoda. Suitably placed and anticipating a better run this time.
