GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Milchstrasse, Lady Brown and Aino Passerelle to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. LADY BROWN (5) has been racing well this preparation, scoring last start over 1400m at Mizusawa to make it two wins from three runs this time in. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. AINO PASSERELLE (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at Mizusawa then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third over 850m at Mizusawa. Steps up a level but she is good enough to figure in the finish. TOKINO ONE CARAT (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at Mizusawa after being prominent at the corner. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RAIFORT (8) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 850m at Mizusawa. Will drift back but wind up late. Top three prospects.
