GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Expecting Dodo Ni San San to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SHAKE ON IT (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1600m at Mizusawa, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to find winning ways. DODO NI SAN SAN (10) filled yet another minor placing last time when 1.5 lengths adrift in second over 1400m at Mizusawa. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. GOLD CREST (2) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1600m at Mizusawa when he was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BELIEVE SUNRISE (9) was in the money two starts back at Mizusawa but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth. Nicely placed to bounce back.
