Kitano Condor to take charge ahead of Spark at a solid tempo. KITANO CONDOR (12) finished just a nose from the winner in second last start over 1600m at this track after racing in the leading division. Has the gate speed to overcome a testing draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SPARK (8) was successful last start over 1600m at Mizusawa, getting home by a nose to make it three wins on the bounce. Winning rider Ryo Kobayashi retains the mount. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BEL BEST RUNNER (5) was a determined winner two runs back then drifted back last time and finished seventh over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back to winning form. VIVA MOON (1) turned things around last start and scored by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
