GOING: S

Race 6 800m

Track: SOFT      

Expecting Kotorino Utau Uta to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MAHNE FLOTTANT (3) returns from a layoff of six months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 800m at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Comes here with definite claims. PYTHON (8) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led throughout to score by half a length over 800m at this track. One of the top chances again. KOTORINO UTAU UTA (12) returns from a spell of 12 weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Kasamatsu over 800m. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. KEY SONATA (6) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage 12th over 800m at this track. Well-placed and can sneak into the finish.
