GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong tempo with Mozu Yapparine, Hope White and Fuji Gokyaku going forward ahead of Ken Wenzel and Tiger Dragon. HOPE WHITE (4) returns after a spell of three months. Looking to emulate her win at Morioka Dirt when returning from a spell last prep. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Masashi Ito. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MORDDURE (10) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last preparation with four consecutive minor placings. One of the leading chances. FUJI GOKYAKU (5) was in the money two starts back at Morioka Dirt then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1000m at Morioka Dirt. Sits handy in the run. Has ability and expected to feature. TIGER DRAGON (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
