GOING: G

Race 7 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo anticipated with Miyakono Tiara heading them off. FIRE SIGN (2) got home by a head last time out over 2200m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Should go well again. DIGEST (3) finished 1.1 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 1500m at this track, an improvement on his first-up 11th at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. HISHI LE LIEN (1) got well back over 1400m at Urawa last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 10 lengths away in ninth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. LAPLAND (7) ran below expectations last start, finishing 13th at this track over 1800m. Nicely placed to turn things around.
