GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Keen tempo headed by La La Monstre. LA LA MONSTRE (2) finished third two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race this time and can go back-to-back. CAPRONI (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 9 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PRETTY KISS (5) is racing well. Scored at Mizusawa two back then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1400m at this track at the latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago. Has a solid record at this journey with three wins from 10 starts and is one of the prime contenders. TOMIKEN PLACER (3) was beaten 10 lengths into seventh over 1200m at this track at his latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
