GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. CHIC SEIN (1) is back from a break of 11 weeks. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1600m at this track. Has switched to the Yuichi Oikawa yard. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. RYUNO BADEN (9) last appeared five weeks ago over 1500m at Kawasaki when he finished 12th. This is his first run for the Yoshinori Itagaki stable. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CLARET (2) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished 12th over 1600m at Ohi. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. GIFTED ABELIA (11) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1300m at this track. Has ability and is worth including.
