GOING:

Race 6 1000m

Track:      

Taikonen and Rich Aroma can be prominent. CAMP FIRE (8) finished third two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths as favourite over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. TAIKONEN (2) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the turn at Mizusawa, finishing ninth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at $2.30. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. LILY CORRER (9) finished third two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by half a length over 850m at Mizusawa. Makoto Otsubo scored on her last time and retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. EARTH HOUR (5) had been performing well until racing below her best last time when fourth over 1200m at this track. Should improve and worth considering.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Mizusawa April 8 over 850m defeating Earth Hour carrying 54kg at $18. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Mizusawa on March 25 over 850m, 2.5 len behind Idiom with 54kg at $16.20. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
