GOING:

Race 7 820m

Track:      

Pink Marvel should spear straight to the front of the small field. PINK LADY (2) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 820m at this track. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. A SHIN NOCTURNE (3) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished seventh when fresh from a spell two starts back at Himeji then improved and scored over 1230m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. WOODBINE (6) turned in a modest performance last time out over 1230m at this track. That followed a win at Himeji at the previous outing. This doesn't look as hard so she is a leading contender. SUN FOUNTAIN (1) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out. Worth another chance.

Useful type. Most recently ran last of 10 at this track on March 26 over 1230m, 32 len behind Daijobanai carrying 54kg at $108.60. The start before that scored a big 4 len win at Himeji February 29 over 800m defeating Moriden Judo carrying 55kg at $3.30. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Resumes off a 40 day let-up. Most recently didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 12 at Himeji on March 7 over 800m, 6 len behind Lacus Gaudii carrying 55kg at $3.60. The run before that won by 1.3 len at Himeji February 14 over 800m defeating Divine Luce with 55kg at $2. No threat last start but is capable of better.
