GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Ange Mistral has enough early speed to find the lead at a decent clip. ANGE MISTRAL (3) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring comfortably over 1400m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts her right in this. ITSUTSUBOSHI (1) finished second last start over 1500m at Funabashi. Prior to that had won two races on end, the last of those at this circuit. Can bounce straight back. TOKOTOKO TOKKOTOKO (2) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out here scoring by a head. Looks well placed and she is right in the mix again. MELOS GO (6) is coming off a last-start fourth. Must be respected.

Broke through last time and is worth thought again.
