GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Cresco Taishi and Will Dusk leading from Ummeino Itazura. CRESCO TAISHI (5) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1230m at this track. He is in a good space right now and can win again. VIABILITY (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back, then was beaten 3.5 lengths when ninth in a 1800m there five-and-a-half weeks ago. He drops into NAR level, and a form reversal is expected. WAXING MOON (8) has been safely held at his last couple of starts, the latest when always well back in sixth over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Much better placed this time at NAR level, and can improve quickly. WILL DUSK (7) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth in a 1400m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Include in all multiples.
