GOING:

Race 8 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Wakino Glass to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. NANNAMPU (5) has switched yards since finishing seventh a month ago over 1400m at Niigata. Key runner. TOTONOO (7) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Expected to improve sharply. PHANTOM BLOOD (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1230m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WAKINO GLASS (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 4 lengths. Should be thereabouts in this suitable race.
