GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but Believe Sunrise, Derma Asura and Fine Rose can take up forward spots. CROWN HAWI (9) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1600m on December 30. Comes here with definite claims. DERMA ASURA (8) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance ten weeks ago. One of the genuine hopes in the race. YAMANIN EPICURE (7) returns from a spell. Finished fourth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep ten weeks ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. BELIEVE SUNRISE (3) was ninth in a 1400m contest at Kochi five weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.
