GOING:

Race 10 2000m

Track:      

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. ORA VERITAS (9) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when second over 1400m at this track. Facing a similar assignment and is expected to go well again. MISTRAL WIND (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten one length. Winning rider Soichi Kato sticks and best form puts him right in this. KEY JUPITER (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1700m at this track a week ago. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. KENDOCHORAI (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage eighth over 1400m at this track. Can sneak into the finish here.
