GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Without much in the way of early speed it might be left to Mission Harrier to take charge. TECHNO APPLE (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1300m at Mizusawa. Looks well placed and she can go on with it. MISSION HARRIER (7) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by a head over 1300m at Mizusawa. Should be right in this. HAPPY WIDE (4) has been in the placings at his last two, most recently when second over 1400m at Mizusawa at his third run back from a break. Should be ready to show his best now so he is one of the prime contenders. KOMORI VENUS (3) could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1400m at Mizusawa after she was well back on straightening. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
