GOING:

Race 7 2000m

Track:      

Expecting Hot Emperor to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. HOT EMPEROR (8) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. RAFFAELLA ANGEL (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Funabashi. Safely held last time out when fifth over 2200m at Funabashi, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. MIRAIE HOSHO (2) showed early speed from a good draw last start then battled on well for third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 2000m at this track. Ready to go a couple better. FLOATING ROSE (9) dug deep to score two back then was beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 2000m at this track last time four weeks ago. Will drift back but wind up late. A big run is expected.
