GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Pace only fair with Blessing Isle rolling to the lead ahead of Aratamano Kiseki and Logistics. BLESSING ISLE (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw and is a likely improver with strong prospects. YUINO KOMICHI (6) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m and looks set for a bold return. CRIMSON RED (3) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1400m here, an improvement on his eighth at this circuit the run before. Has his share of ability and is hard to beat in this suitable race. SAIMON CREST (7) was ridden quietly from a good draw last start before closing nicely to get up for fifth over 1400m at this venue. Well placed and is among the main chances.
