GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Kurino Kaguya leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. PRISM SPECTRE (1) was well in commission last time and ran below expectations but was going well before that with a win and a placing from her other two starts this time in. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone aided by the inside draw. KURINO KAGUYA (11) has placed in both starts since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a third over 1400m at Mizusawa. Should park just off the speed. Can play a major role. RICHIE SHACHI (2) has been taking on stronger company at Ohi and steps out for a new stable. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. TSURUMARU HEART (3) improved second-up last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. Can progress further.
