GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Sanono Rich to lead Ko Olina Lagoon at just a moderate tempo. KO OLINA LAGOON (7) has not appeared since she finished third over 1400m at Kawasaki on December 19. Now under the care of new trainer Kazuya Ibi. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SANONO RICH (4) last appeared when fourth over 1400m at this track 11 weeks ago. Looks a winning chance. RISE TAIGA (6) finished ninth at this track and distance at his last appearance three months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. HAGANE (2) resumes in a similar race to his last run three months ago when eighth, beaten 10 lengths. Has to be respected.
