GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace from Eel Tesoro and Valiant matching motors with Cosmo Meigetsu close at hand. VALIANT (8) was an emphatic winner last time over 1300m at this track with today's rider Taichi Nagamori engaged. Top strike rate at the journey with three wins and four placings from seven starts and is a leading contender. DONA APHRODITE (10) was well in commission last start over 1300m at this track when seventh. Shuji Akaoka who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Expecting a better showing. COSMO MEIGETSU (2) was second at this track over 1300m last start. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to his name. One of the main contenders. KINGDOM WINNER (4) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1300m at this track. Has a solid record here over this journey, winning on two occasions from four outings. Among the main hopes.
