GOING:

Race 7 1700m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Tagano Diosa probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. ZIGGURAT (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1700m on November 27. Comes here with definite claims. CONJUNCTION (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Himeji, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAGANO DIOSA (1) returned from a break last start and was having her first run on dirt for a new stable when beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1800m at Himeji. Should be poised just off the lead. Should be involved in the finish. I SAMAIN (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 5.5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
