GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Subarashii Hibi and Etre Doue up front. LAC PUER (7) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when second over 1400m at this track. Leading contender. PIENA FEVRE (5) is fresh from a spell of eight months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Nakayama over 2000m. In a different yard now. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SUBARASHII HIBI (9) has switched yards since scoring by one length at this track over 1400m on December 2. Solid top-three hope. ETRE DOUE (1) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish eighth over 1400m at this track. Cannot be underestimated.
