GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Solid pace with Seven Colors finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SEVEN COLORS (8) displayed plenty of early toe over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by 1.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. RED GATE (5) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has won three on end now, the latest scoring over 1600m at this track. Strong winning chance. KISLING (1) finished second last start at this track over 1400m Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Tsutsui Yusuke who has scored on her four times retains the mount. Has claims. HIMETSURUICHIMONJI (3) ran below expectations last time at Sonoda over 1230m, finishing fourth. Should settle handy in the run. Must be respected.
