GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Peisha Nit, Black Orange and Eligible to control the tempo. GARDEN PLANNER (5) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when 15th over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Has found the JRA circuit beyond her lately. Should feature back to this level. LOOK UP TO (3) was last at the races when she finished third over 1600m at this track on February 18. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. PEISHA NIT (4) was out of the money first-up but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a second over 1300m at this track. Looks tough to stop. PHOTOSPHERE (1) has switched yards since finishing tenth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Funabashi. Solid top-three hope.
