GOING: G

Race 8 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of pace from Smart Sierra, Meisho Tabizuki and Aeno Judge primarily. MEISHO TABIZUKI (10) was impressive last time over 1500m at Kanazawa, scoring by 30 lengths. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from seven starts. Expected to feature. SMART SIERRA (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1600m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. CELESTIAL HOPE (7) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before a seven months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Kyoto. Expect she has come on over the break. Strong winning chance on best figures. G T URARA (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1600m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
