GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Hot tempo expected from Valiant and Meisho Rosy. VALIANT (4) has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings, last start finishing second over 1600m here. Taichi Nagamori gets the best out of this nine-year-old entire. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to feature. NAMURA TEDDIE (3) went forward last start over 1600m at this track and held on well for third. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. FORD TESORO (5) was well held on the JRA circuit two back then last time sat on the pace in an easier race and stuck on well to finish second over 1600m at this track. Rates highly on the latest effort and can run well again. AURA BILLS (8) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering two minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. Seiya Tatara stays aboard. Not to be discounted.
