GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Without much in the way of early speed it might be left to G T Fukufuku to take charge. DE PRE (10) returns from a spell of ten weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 16th at Hanshin over 2200m when first-up last time in work. Well-placed and sure to feature. SOPA DE AJO (6) is returning from a spell of nine weeks. Finished 16th at Tokyo over 1800m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Yukio Abe. A solid return is anticipated. G T FUKUFUKU (3) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time back in 13th over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Finds an easier assignment and is among the leading chances. MEISHO VALKYRJA (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Kokura, crossing the line in 11th. Nicely placed to find some form.
