GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Tactical given the lack of speed. TAISEI GREATER (2) is still a maiden after six runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing eighth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. DOCTOR SAKURA (5) was never in contention last time over 1400m at this track when she finished sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. REINA AZUL (1) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but tired to finish 14th over 2000m at Fukushima. Worth including in this suitable contest. WINKLE HOPE (4) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing 8 lengths away in seventh over 1000m at Kokura Dirt. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
