GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Certain to be a strong tempo with Bhadra, Mo Mo Shine and Samasama leading the charge. BHADRA (4) is a promising filly yet to miss the frame after two starts, including a win. Is at the races for the first time since she finished third over 1200m at Monbetsu on June 17. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Likely to feature. MO MO SHINE (6) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track over 1400m. Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. KASHINO SPIRYTUS (8) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on August 7 after he gave away a big start. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MONGE HOPE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
