GOING: S

Race 10 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Greatest Work, Moriden Stealth and Pocholada to take up the running at a strong tempo. GREATEST WORK (11) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at this track and trip. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Well placed and should be in the finish. MORIDEN STEALTH (2) finished off last campaign with a win over 1200m at this track. Excels when first-up, claiming three wins from four starts and found the frame in his last first up run, is among the leading chances. JAGUAR BAROWS (9) finished fourth at this track and distance at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Makes plenty of appeal. SUPER AGURI (4) couldn't quite make an impact when finishing seventh over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt before going for spell. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Katsunori Arayama. Has to be respected.
