GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Pace looks to be genuine with War Hammer and Sekkachi Cane matching motors in advance of Bellagiokazetatinu and Donryu Star. WAR HAMMER (5) last appeared two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Kochi when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Kazuhiro Kato stable. Well-placed and sure to feature. BELLAGIOKAZETATINU (6) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Monbetsu over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. DONRYU STAR (8) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1400m at this track on December 28. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. LOVE AND LUCKY (4) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
