GOING:

Race 9 1000m

Track:      

La Pollito and Araiguma Punch should set a strong tempo. PURPLE BEAUTY (5) broke back into the top-three last start when second at this track over 1000m, beaten 2.5 lengths. Can improve again. Top chance. LA POLLITO (3) comes here off a break of nine months. Scored over 850m at Mizusawa to launch the last campaign. Now under the care of new trainer Hiroyuki Oguni. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ARAIGUMA PUNCH (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second over 1000m at this track. Will push forward and is among the chances. COIN POCKET (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when fifth over 1000m at this track. Well placed and is a top-three hope.
