GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Abundant pace from Riku Ko, A Shin Mirami and Sayono Hortulus vying for the lead with Hatchin on their backs. A SHIN MIRAMI (9) did a great job to score by 3.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. No reason she cannot salute again. SAYONO HORTULUS (4) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2 length win at this track over 1200m. Likely to be in the finish again. HATCHIN (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. In the right race and is a key runner. DONA SCHON (3) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when third over 1200m at this track. Rates highly on best form so do not underestimate.
