GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Gra Rich leading the way. GRA RICH (6) returns from a spell of ten months and did win first-up last time in work over 1000m at this track. Sure to go well. TAIKI BANDIERA (2) has switched yards since finishing eighth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1300m at Saga. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. LITTLE ARTHUR (7) returns from a spell of five-and-a-half months and did win first-up last prep over 1000m at this track. Key runner. RESILIENT ISLE (8) fought on for third last start over 1600m at Kasamatsu to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
