GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Shirakami Impulse. MIDAS TOUCH (9) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. SHIRAKAMI IMPULSE (7) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 10-length win over 850m at Mizusawa last time out. Winning rider aboard again and expected to go very well. QUEEN OMEGA (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders and expect another big run. MARBLE ANGEL (4) has not raced since finishing eighth over 1400m at this track on August 3. Can run a bold race fresh.
