GOING:

Race 8 1800m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Gold Irene heading them off. GOLD IRENE (8) returns from a spell of nine months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m when first-up last time in work. Key runner while fresh. COOL KAGURA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LOVE LEGAL (2) worked home well to grab third at long odds at his latest appearance at this track over 1700m. Watanabe has registered three minor placings when on board. Has winning claims on best figures. HO O PLAGE (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1700m. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
