GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Roberta Carina, Kung Fu Dance and Riko Astra can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. SAMMARU CEREZO (10) was far from disgraced when fifth last start over 850m at Mizusawa, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at Mizusawa the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ROBERTA CARINA (3) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish seventh, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start over 850m at Mizusawa. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. RIKO ASTRA (5) was in the money two starts back at Mizusawa but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, at Mizusawa over 1400m. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. PINK NO BARA (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Mizusawa over 850m. In the right race and should be in the mix.
