GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Mana Hoku Lani to take up the running with Dujac and Daimei Hamada close at hand. COPANO INORI (4) resumes from a spell of three months and is having her first outing under new trainer Hiroaki Sakurai. Finished eighth at Kasamatsu over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. Nicely placed and should be primed for this. ROPIA (6) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a seventh here two starts back then got the job done by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1000m at this track. Must be respected. MAGIC LINE (7) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1800m at this track on October 23. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race fresh. MISS NANNA (1) ran a better race when second up last time out, finishing sixth over 1000m at this track. Ready to peak and expected to go close.
