Verdict

NAKIMUSHI HIKARU (6) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 2 lengths over this trip. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to feature. DYNAMITE BULL (11) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 4 ½f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. GIRL'S DREAM (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 4 when beaten 16 lengths into sixth at this track over 7f after being prominent at the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KAUNIS MIELI (9) last appeared seven weeks ago over 7f at Kanazawa when she finished seventh. This is her first run for the Isamu Kubo stable. Watch the betting.
