GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Jazz Pianist and Nocturnal will likely pair off in front. HANACHIRUSATO (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 7 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. JAZZ PIANIST (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Tsubasa Sasagawa engaged. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. T O D'AMOUR (4) fought on well for third last start over 1500m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has a decent record at this trip with five minor placings from six tries and should be involved in the finish. ADELA PERFUME (1) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 1/04/2025, finishing eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1500m at Funabashi. Has switched to the Naoto Mizukami stable. Definite top-three chance.
