GOING: S

Race 6 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Expecting Brightia Anna to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. CHURA VALOR (5) lines up on the back of a 4 length fourth over 1200m at this track. Rates highly here. Among the top chances. ICE NOTE (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 1400m at Urawa. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. PIKO BONDS (9) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. In the money at the only second up run. Sure to run well again. MISS GOLD (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 12 lengths away in 13th over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
