GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine from Pink Chan striding forward while Happy Arrow kicks up on inside to apply some pressure. T O LA TOUR (2) was racing well last campaign including a win at this track and distance at her last outing six months ago. Has found the frame in all of three starts here. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MEISHO INASE (8) scored two back then stuck on well last start to finish third over 1750m at this track after showing good early speed. Manato Hida gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Bright prospects. HAPPY ARROW (1) showed good early speed at this track last time and trio and went on to salute by 1.5 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Likely to be competitive. LOVE HIKARI (3) ran below expectations last time when fifth but placed two back. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
