GOING:

Race 8 820m

Track:      

Shizukano Umi has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. YASHIRO BOY (3) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.75 lengths to spare over 820m at this track, making it two in succession. Can go on with it. YOUNG BLOOD (6) went forward last start over 820m at this track and held on well for third. Likely improver with strong prospects. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (11) lines up for the first time since February 26. Looking to emulate her win at this track at the beginning of last prep. One to consider. SHIZUKANO UMI (5) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 820m at this track. Suitably placed and can make amends.
