GOING: G

Race 7 900m

Track: GOOD      

Amico Idol and Kotono Sansho look to take it up. PIONIERE (8) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on July 7 over 900m when he got home by a neck. Winning rider Takayuki Yano retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. GOGO DANCER (12) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 900m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AMICO IDOL (10) drew wide last time and was safely held when 6 lengths away in seventh over this course and distance. Draws an outside gate again. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Sure to be competitive. HIME KAGURA (5) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fifth over 900m at this track. Among the chances.
