Race 9 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Tone Musume and Iide Sky High to take up the running at a strong tempo. BALALAIKA (1) has not appeared since she finished third over 1600m at Kasamatsu on November 9. Has found a suitable race. KOMORI REGAL (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when eighth over 1400m at Himeji after she settled well back. Has further improvement to come and is a key runner. TONE MUSUME (9) impressed when successful on debut over 1000m at this track eight months ago and has not raced since. Key runner fresh. TALE SPINNER (3) last appeared six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Ohi when she finished 11th. This is her first run for the Hiroaki Sakurai stable and she should be primed for this.
