GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

The trio Ena Fukukitaru, Avanza and Yakujin Myo O will set a strong tempo. AVANZA (9) was far from disgraced when third last start over 820m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. WELCOME KIRISHIMA (2) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Saga when she finished sixth. This is her first run for the Motohiro Koma stable. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. ENA FUKUKITARU (6) didn't do a bad job when third last start after being in contention on the corner here. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. BELLAGIO HARUKA (1) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was prominent at the corner before finishing fourth over. Fitter so a likely improver.
