GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Koln Concert leading the way. KEY JUPITER (4) is racing well, scoring by a head two back then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 1700m at this track when not too far away. Has a formidable record at this journey with six wins and two placings from nine starts and is a key runner. KING OF THE NILE (1) performed well when second last time out over 1900m at Kasamatsu. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to feature. SAMMARU LEGEND (3) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then relished the easier company last time when he raced on the speed and lifted to score over 1700m at this track. Leading player again. KOLN CONCERT (2) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1500m here. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
