GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Rugger One Team leading Karyobinga. MELOS (1) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite claims. SAKURA TOP ROL (9) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track five weeks ago. Best figures measure up and can run well. RUGGER ONE TEAM (7) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was tenth over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Wataru Hirose is a positive move. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. BLEU VERT (4) produced a better run last start at the second run of the campaign, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Previously first up; fourth of 12 at Himeji March 7 over 1400m, 10 len behind Korokoro Rusk with 56kg at $11.30. Look for a bold run.
