GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Combat Taurus taking charge. COMBAT TAURUS (4) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 4 over 1600m when he got home by a neck. Winning rider Tatsuya Watanabe retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MAPLE CAP (8) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1600m at this track last time. Sure to measure up again. TOCHINO HOMARE (6) scored by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a terrific record here with two wins and two placings from four starts. One of the leading contenders. CHASE THE WIND (7) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Nagoya two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Can win again.
