GOING:

Race 1 920m

Track:      

Little early speed on offer so Professional should be prominent. KAGUYA (2) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when eighth. Back in trip and well placed worth another chance. HIRABOKU ONE (5) resumes from a spell of 11 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Tsuyoshi Kawanishi. Finished ninth at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. A solid return is anticipated. SIGN OF HAPPINESS (11) is a four-year-old filly yet to find the frame after seven runs. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1500m at this track, finishing eighth. Will drift back but wind up late. Winning claims on best figures. YATAGARASU MAHINA (8) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing fifth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Top three prospects here.
