EPIC NIGHT (8) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past four starts. Last time out he scored over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it. SOUND JACKAL (9) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on January 3 over 1500m when he got home by 2 lengths. Winning rider Takahiro Imai retains the mount. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. SHIRAKAWANO SEKI (7) finished second last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 2 lengths.

Race 11 1500m
BEST REGARD (8) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is the testing material. SAIL ON SAILOR (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1500m at this track. Tomomori Syotaro who has five wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. AUSTRO (10) scored by a neck last start at Urawa over 1400m. Has a very good record over today's journey with four wins from six starts. Has a strong association with Kosei Akimoto who has been in the saddle for his last three wins. Has claims on his best figures.

Race 12 1400m
SOTSUNASA (5) has registered three minor placings from three runs this preparation. Was always up in the leading division and finished third last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. MALAIA GARNET (8) returned to winning form last start, scoring by a neck over this journey at Kasamatsu. Has started three times at this journey and has never missed the frame. Definite winning hope. CITRON VERT (11) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 2000m at this track. Should cross from wide out and can build on that strong effort last start. LUX SCHNEIDER (6) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better. |
