GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Good pace with Full Of Praise, Eel Tesoro and Meisho Rosy matching motors. FULL OF PRAISE (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1300m at this track. The testing material on his best form. MEISHO ROSY (6) produced a reasonable effort when fourth last start over 1300m here after a win at this track the start prior. Taichi Nagamori gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. NAVARONE (5) strode forward early from his wide draw over 1300m at this track last time before fading to finish tenth. Can bounce back. DRIVE A LOCUS (8) has been safely held at his last two starts, the latest when he failed to finish over 2890m at Niigata. Does enjoy some weight relief this time. Out of his depth in JRA meets recently but can easily bounce back.
