GOING:

Race 8 1000m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Kitasan Yamabuki probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. NISHINO ENDEAVOR (3) did a decent job last start to finish third over 1000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. SHIYU BLACK (7) was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1000m at this track. Shinya Matsui has registered three minor placings when on board. Well placed and should be in the finish. KITASAN YAMABUKI (5) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. KAKAMUNO HIME (6) broke back into the top-three last start when second at this track over 1000m. Worth following.
