GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Sail On Sailor, Austro and Best Regard leading the way. BEST REGARD (8) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is the testing material. SAIL ON SAILOR (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1500m at this track. Tomomori Syotaro who has five wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. AUSTRO (10) scored by a neck last start at Urawa over 1400m. Has a very good record over today's journey with four wins from six starts. Has a strong association with Kosei Akimoto who has been in the saddle for his last three wins. Has claims on his best figures. SAYONO GLORY (2) finished third last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 1.3 lengths. Can figure prominently.
