GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Sanono Tarumae leading Running Hot. SANONO TARUMAE (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Urawa two starts back then landed the prize by a neck last time out over 1400m at Urawa. Key runner. RUNNING HOT (7) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up and can run well on best. NOBLE WHISPER (12) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track when sixth. Expected to feature if at her best. NARINO EMBLEM (2) has switched yards since finishing 18th two months ago over 1400m at Chukyo. Well-placed and is among the chances.
