GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Diamant Drop, Flight Blue and Minamijujisei can set a genuine tempo. UFUFUTO RUNNA (10) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 4 lengths win over 1300m at this track to make it two in a row. Can go on with it. A SHIN DAZZLE (2) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1300m at this track, scoring by one length. Will be better for that latest run and he looms as a significant threat. DIAMANT DROP (7) last appeared a month ago over 1400m at Nagoya when she finished seventh. This is her first run for the Miyoshi Higashi stable. Can measure up for the new barn. HIRO STAR (9) finished third last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
