GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (5) has really found form this campaign scoring two wins on end, including an effortless 2 lengths win over 1500m at this track last time. Will go close again on recent form. LUCKY DRAGON (8) ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Fitter and looks a leading player again. MUSIC MAN (1) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when eighth over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here. Can feature. NAC RAINBOW (6) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed and can turn things around.
