GOING:

Race 8 1200m

Track:      

Nothing to run them along so the pace looks even at best. MAKOTO DAITOREN (11) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on her last start third at Mizusawa over 850m when beaten 1.5 lengths. Masatoshi Yamamoto who has six wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. SUTEKINA KOKORO (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 0.7 lengths when fifth in a 850m contest at Mizusawa two weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. STARLIGHT TAIL (6) was given time to settle from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly in the straight for an eye-catching third over 850m at Mizusawa. Must be included. NEVER EVER (8) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1400m at Mizusawa when beaten 4 lengths. Big chance to break through.
