GOING:

Race 7 850m

Track:      

Expecting Mitsukane Moon to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. BEE BARISTA (1) produced a reasonable effort to finish 1.75 lengths away in third last start over 850m at this track. That followed a first-up win at Morioka Dirt. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. MITSUKANE MOON (7) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at this track at the beginning of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. COMBAT GRANDE (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 850m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FUJI GOKYAKU (8) turned in another moderate effort last start when sixth over 850m at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
