GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Pure Chemistry likely to find the front over Dream Lover and Ikizama. PURE CHEMISTRY (2) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and kept going to win by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at Mizusawa. Can make it back-to-back wins. DREAM LOVER (9) settled well back last start and never threatened when sixth over 850m at Mizusawa. Is yet to be beaten in two starts here so anticipating a better run this time. ABILE (4) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Mizusawa over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Comes here with definite top-three claims. ARROW GOLD (7) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 850m at Mizusawa. Will be putting in the big strides late again and can feature.
