GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

Good early pressure with Chase The Wind, Jazz Vocal and Energy Romanesque to vie for the lead. NIHONPIRO HOLIDAY (9) was an effortless winner last time over 1500m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Well weighted today and a repeat of the latest will see her hard to hold out. ESMERAUDE ECLAT (8) scored an impressive win by 3 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the winning hopes again. CALL ME MAYBE (11) was out of the money last start over 1500m at this track, finishing ninth. Great chance to return to form. CHASE THE WIND (7) went forward from the low draw last time and stalked the lead before fading to finish tenth over 1500m at this track. Hitomi Miyashita has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Deserves respect.
