GOING:

Race 8 1000m

Track: AW      

Solid tempo anticipated with Yamanin Aries and Luna Elf leading the way. LUNA ELF (11) has been in the placings at her last two appearances, finishing third over 1000m at this track most recently. Useful type who gets her chance. HANAKANZASHI (2) scored at this track last time out with a nose in reserve at the end of 1000m. Has three wins here. Winning hope again. AIGA IPPAI (3) finished second two runs back then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1000m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is good enough to take this out. TODOIWA WIND (1) last start finished sixth at this track over 1000m after being up on the pace until straightening. In the right race and can be competitive.
