GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Expecting a solid pace primarily from Onushi Nanimono. ECORO COURAGE (8) resumed last start over this journey at this track and scored by a head. Has a strong record this course, scoring at 13 of 19 starts. Major player. INAZUMA TAILOR (5) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1230m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. LONDON TESORO (10) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a head last time out over 900m at Saga. Among the chances again. ONUSHI NANIMONO (2) scored an impressive win by 6 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1500m at Kanazawa. Generally runs well second-up and he can measure up again.
