GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Idiom and Kuromatsu Mitchi to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. IDIOM (9) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 850m at Mizusawa last start to make it four straight. Had plenty on his rivals last time and will go well again. MA LOULOUTTE (11) met with solid support last start over 850m at Mizusawa when sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Drawn out but rates highly and can play a big part. YAMANIN SOWELU (3) turned in a modest performance when 11th last time out over 1600m at Mizusawa. That followed a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. KUROMATSU MITCHI (5) scored a dominant win at Mizusawa over 1600m at his latest appearance on December 26. Has found the right race and is worth including.
