GOING:

Race 11 1400m Track: AW True
Plenty of pace from Best Macho, Entelecheia and Lord Gladio matching motors ahead of Johnson Tesoro. JOHNSON TESORO (9) has seven wins and one placing from nine races this campaign. Scored last start by 4 lengths at Saga over 1400m after being up on the pace all the way. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. Multiple Group 3 placegetter RYUNO YUKINA (11) lines up for the first time since December 10. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Now under the care of new trainer Satoshi Saito. Sure to make his presence felt. LORD GLADIO (3) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on June 29 when second, beaten a neck. Norifumi Mikamoto who has four wins when partnering stays on. Sure to run well. VAVILOV (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1500m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Capable of featuring prominently.
