GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Top The Smile and Key Brise leading the charge. BRING JOY (7) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1200m at Monbetsu last time. Likely to play a major role. KEY BRISE (4) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fourth over 1400m here last time. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. PASSION PRIMA (3) ran a better race and finished 1.2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at Monbetsu. Steps up a level but she is worth another chance. KURINO HERO (8) finished fifth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Top-three chance.
