GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Nekoni Kotatsu leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. COSMO VERED (6) built on a nice second two starts back at Mizusawa with a win as public elect over 1200m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Toshiya Yamamoto scored on him last time and retains the ride. Can score again. GEISTVOLL (1) is back after a break of 11 months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and should perform well. MARUKA FRONTALE (4) ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten a nose to make it back-to-back seconds. Looks close to a win. MIDORITATSU (3) turned in a better effort last time at the second run back to finish third over 1200m at this track. Can progress further.
