GOING: S

Race 7 1500m

Track: SOFT      

In a race without a noted leader either Bright Ocean or Rase Grise can take charge. KITANO COUVER (9) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on January 12 finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. KISS AND TELL (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1500m at Funabashi after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. RASE GRISE (7) fought on for third last start over 1500m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Strong winning hope. SPRING NEIGE (1) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing ninth over 1400m at this track. Can improve and is worth including.
