GOING:

Race 10 920m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Bright Phantom, Love Love Kurofune and Oken Boss leading the way. QUINTARELLI (1) improved sharply with success over 920m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Can win again. BRIGHT PHANTOM (3) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths at this track over today's trip. Well placed to keep the ball rolling. STEEL ACTOR (10) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.8 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1700m at this track. Soichi Kato who has six wins when partnering stays on. Sure to be competitive. OKEN BOSS (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when eighth over 1400m at this track. Form at this distance is strong with three wins from four starts and is one of the better hopes.
