GOING: G

Race 10 1800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Strong early tempo with Dream Japan and Glorious King leading the way. HIRABOKU LAUGH IT (3) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has racked up wins at his last three runs, the latest scoring over 1500m at Funabashi. Key chance and expected to go close. MOUNTAIN LAUREL (5) was successful last start over 2000m at this track, getting home by half a length to make it three wins in a row. Winning rider Takayuki Yano retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DREAM JAPAN (11) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1600m at Kawasaki nine weeks ago. Has a perfect first-up record from two starts. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Winning claims on best figures. FATHER TO SON (1) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1600m at this track three months ago. Should settle handy in the run. Must be respected.
