GOING: G

Race 10 900m

Track: GOOD     True  

Certain to be a strong tempo with Seek The Truth, Palace Legacy and Gale leading the charge. HAHNDORF (4) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 900m at this track, beaten a neck as favourite. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GALE (10) finished fourth over this distance, beaten 0.9 lengths, at his latest outing. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring eight times from 12 starts. Ryo Novata who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. SEEK THE TRUTH (3) last appeared five weeks ago over 900m at this track when she finished eighth. This is her first run for the Takayuki Hayashi stable. Can make her presence felt. PAI ZIELEN (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Urawa but ran below par last time when 11th and beaten 5.5 lengths over 800m at Urawa. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
