GOING: S

Race 7 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Plenty of early pace with Wakega Wakaranaiyo and Madeini Suru to vie for the lead, pressured by Moeyo Quartetto and Cinq Raffine. STAND UP (5) has not raced since he scored over 1200m at this track on January 17. Has a win and one placing at this journey from three starts. Should be in the finish. CINQ RAFFINE (1) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of ten weeks and looking to emulate her win at Urawa to kick off the last campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race. WAKEGA WAKARANAIYO (2) turned in a nice run last time to finish second over 900m at Kawasaki after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. IPPOMMICHI (4) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
