GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Siena Dance and Sun Piano Sonata can take forward positions at a moderate tempo. SIENA DANCE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. SUN PIANO SONATA (6) is a six-start maiden who finished ninth after being prominent at the corner at her most recent outing over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. JERICOACOARA (7) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing eighth over 1200m at Kyoto. Finds an easier assignment and is a winning hope. GOLD BLOSSOM (5) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing tenth over 2200m at Niigata. Worth another chance in this easier assignment.
