GOING:

Race 11 1500m Track:
Blistering early pace from Davanti, Steel Actor and Crystallize taking each other on, with a few others in keen pursuit. DAVANTI (10) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1500m at Kanazawa. Has a formidable combination with Taiga Kurihara who has been aboard for her last four wins. Leading contender. MITONO WARRIOR (8) made it three wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 1.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Winning rider Makoto Okabe retains the mount. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. STEEL ACTOR (7) scored last start at Kasamatsu to make it six wins and two placings from 12 starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Capable of testing this field. CRYSTALLIZE (1) is stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished fourth over 1400m at Kasamatsu on March 7. Gets the inside stall so deserves respect.

The race before that 2nd of 9 at Kasamatsu on February 8 over 1600m, neck behind Mitono Warrior with 56kg at $6.10. Can do a lot better than that last run.	1 TOMOMORI SYOTARO
