GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Three Rose should find the front with Meisho Hamagiku and Namura Rucola on her heels. THREE ROSE (3) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance 11 weeks ago. Rates highly and should take some beating. NAMURA RUCOLA (11) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when third over 1400m at this track. Rates highly on the latest effort and is sure to run well again. ROYAL DANCE (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this circuit. Faces an easier assignment so he can return to the winners' list. KURINO BERGMAN (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track, finishing 9 lengths from the winner. One of the main contenders.
