GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Zendanno Hagemi to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ZENDANNO HAGEMI (8) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Has a solid record here over this journey. Tomohiro Yoshimura stays on. Fitter and a likely improver. MELODY MAKER (2) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Rates highly and can measure up. IZU JO HERO (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. A SHIN JOLT (6) lines up for the first time since October 19. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Monbetsu. Now under the care of new trainer Tadaaki Hashimoto. Keep safe.
