GOING:

Race 4 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Il Rosa to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. A SHIN DOPPLER (9) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Osamu Shimohara stays aboard and he can go on with it. MAPLE KENJI (5) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can atone. ROCKIN' DOOR (2) got a long way back when tenth in a 820m contest at this track two weeks ago. Out in distance here and can figure in the finish. IL ROSA (10) lines up for the first time since January 3. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 820m at this track. One to consider fresh.
