GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Tamamo Ittosei and Go Max. GO MAX (2) ran a nice race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1300m at this track, finishing second. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. FUKUNO LUKKA (11) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on May 31 over 1300m when she scored by 3 lengths. Winning rider Masashi Ueda retains the mount. In the mix. TAMAMO ITTOSEI (3) showed good pace over 1300m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 2 lengths. Will take advantage of the good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SHOW VALENCE (9) comes here following a win over 1300m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Goes well here with two wins and a placing from four starts. Must be respected.
