GOING:

Race 10 900m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure from Disruptor, Tamamo Altair and Ran Ran battling for the lead over Pink Towel Chan. TAMAMO ALTAIR (6) has been about the money with three minor placings from four starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 800m at Urawa. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. DISRUPTOR (2) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by one length over 900m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and can go on with it. SANEI JIRO (1) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance at Funabashi over 1200m seven months ago. Has to be respected. RAN RAN (10) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when eighth, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 900m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
