GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Good pace headed by Win Award, Meisho Pisukari and Meisho Hyuma, with Hatto Gutto Get and D's Mate close by. MEISHO HYUMA (7) appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1300m at this track. Found winning form back at the right level and looks hard to beat. WIN AWARD (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 1300m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. LUX CHERRY (6) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Masayoshi Yamasaki sticks and she is a solid top-three hope. MATSURIDA CHOPIN (1) was in the money two starts back at Mizusawa but couldn't back it up last time when sixth here over 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
