GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Key Sonata finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SISTER (1) finished second for the third time in four starts this time in when just a neck from the winner over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up strongly. Gets the chance to break through. KEY SONATA (5) has been in good form, scoring three back at Mizusawa then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when she was in the firing line all the way over 1400m at this track. Has strong prospects. VIOLAINE (10) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track after a close second prior. Must be respected. ABAGNALE (4) turned in a modest performance last time out but recorded a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing so is worth thought.

Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 at this track on October 19 over 1400m, neck behind Eteoclos carrying 54kg at $2.20. The race before that 7th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on September 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Dunkeld with 55.0kg at $10.90. Draws the inside and should take beating.

Racing well recently. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 11 at this track on October 19 over 1400m, 8 len behind Hakuai Athena carrying 54kg at $2.20. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Mizusawa on October 7 over 1600m, neck behind Black Ration carrying 54kg at $3.60. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on October 19 over 1400m, 12 len behind Vip Akua carrying 54kg at $15. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Mizusawa on October 6 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Presto Angel carrying 54kg at $4.20. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.
