GOING:

Race 10 900m

Track:      

Hot pace certain with Seek The Truth, Sanei Jiro and Palace Legacy keen to take up the running. KIMON APPLE (12) broke through for a win last start when second up from a spell, scoring by a neck over 900m at this track. The third-up record is strong and she looks very hard to beat. SANEI JIRO (8) won at this track and distance at his last outing three-and-a-half months ago. Expect him to play a major role fresh. PALACE LEGACY (4) is a genuine three-year-old colt who resumed with a solid third last time out at this track over 900m. Won at his only second-up appearance so there is plenty of upside. KUROTCHI (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Funabashi over 1000m. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
