GOING: S

Race 1 1200m

Track: SOFT     Rail: True.  

Expecting K's Blanc to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. FLUGEL KU (11) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Urawa. Meeting a tougher field but he is one of the chief contenders. SATONO CAMPANULA (2) finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. TOWER OF PRINCE (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 17 lengths away in ninth over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. HYOI ZABURO (12) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
