GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Hokuzan Burly and Karula Factor leading the way. DAIJOBANAI (2) finished 7 lengths away from the winner in third when resuming last start at this track over 1400m Has found the frame in all three starts at this journey, including two wins. Shingo Oyama who has scored on him eight times retains the mount. Fitter and ready to win. HOKUZAN BURLY (5) disappointed at his last run three months ago when fourth here, that effort following back-to-back wins. Rates highly on the form from last campaign and will be tough to beat. NARITA SHIN (3) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last start when he made late ground to finish a close third over 1230m at this venue after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MOKARA ACE (4) rounds out the selections.
