GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track:      

Cosmo Vered to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. ON THE RADIO (11) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of 12 weeks. Sure to prove tough to beat. TEN OKAY O (5) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 850m at Mizusawa. Has ability and should be right in the finish. COURANTE (3) showed early speed from an outside draw when fresh from a spell last time out and led for much of the way before finding a couple better at the end of 1000m at this track. Solid run last start and is among the chances again. MALODHEEP (10) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1000m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
