GOING:

Race 1 900m

Track:      

Kotorino Utau Uta to set a strong early tempo joined by Narino Biscuits pushing on from an outside draw. HANASAKI POPLAR (3) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win over 900m at this track. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and four placings from eight tries. Likely to feature. HORSE SPIRIT (10) returns from a spell of 13 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 15th at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m when first-up last time in work. Capable of playing a major role in this much weaker race. LE RIRE (6) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when fifth at this course and distance. Better than the latest run suggests and can improve sharply. KOTORINO UTAU UTA (5) ran below expectations last time at Urawa, finishing fifth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
