GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track:      

Nothing to run them along here so the pace looks average at best. KITANO SERENADE (6) finished eighth over 2000m at Ohi at his most recent appearance on June 30. Has switched to the Hiromichi Iida stable. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. STRAIGHT (4) got well back over 1400m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 11 lengths away in ninth. Has the ability to figure prominently. WIND WORK (5) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest eighth at this track over 1400m. Look for a better run this time out. MARINO PEGASUS (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
