GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Off the low draw Dancing Erika should lead at a genuine tempo. PEISHA ANGELO (2) resumes from a spell of three months and is having her first outing under new trainer Satoru Furusawa. Finished 12th at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m at the opening run last time in work. Leading contender. MARGOT FESTA (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run three months ago when he scored by 5 lengths. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DANCING ERIKA (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at this track after being in contention all the way. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PRINCESS SAKURA (12) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Likely to be there at the finish again.
