GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Atsuhime is the likely leader at a slick tempo. T M DORU O (7) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths at this track over today's trip. Likely to measure up again. COUPE (8) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Looks well placed so expect another big run. STAR GIRL (5) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by one length over 1300m here last time. Solid winning hope. STAR OF MELODY (4) missed the placings last time out when tenth over 1750m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
