GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident In Your Eyes may lead the way over Natural Smile. OWENS VALLEY (7) finished out of the money when seventh in a 1600m contest at this track a week ago. Likely improver. IN YOUR EYES (9) missed the frame last start over 1000m at Kokura Dirt, finishing ninth. Finds easier and can feature. CHERBOURG RAIN (8) has switched yards since finishing sixth five weeks ago over 1400m at Himeji. Can measure up for the new barn. M T PABLO (2) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, finishing eighth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
