GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

A strong tempo assured with Alpinism and Earth Hour leading the charge. TWO M PRIDE (6) found the line strongly last time when fourth over 850m at Mizusawa. Suited at the longer journey and rates a chance. GRAFFIAS LADY (4) will be fitter for recent racing and looks close to a win after finishing fifth over 1400m at Mizusawa last time. One of the major hopes. EARTH HOUR (5) finished out of the money when seventh in an 850m contest at Mizusawa two-and-a-half weeks ago. In the right race this time and is worth including. CURREN EXCALIBUR (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 850m at Mizusawa. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
