GOING: G

Race 11 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo anticipated with American Seed leading the way. AIRPORT LINER (7) changes rider since being well held last time in sixth over 1400m at this track on April 25. Best form is good enough so worth another chance. MARBLE MACARON (6) went to the paddock after scoring at her only appearance last prep ten weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Tsubasa Sasagawa sticks. Sure to play a big role. MOZU RICKEY (4) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when ninth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Has switched to the Kenichi Shigeta stable over the break. Definite top-three chance. BATTLE PARILEYYA (1) last appeared two months ago over 1400m at Ohi when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Junpei Morishita stable.
