GOING: G

Race 11 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Hot pace certain with Pierre Oregon, Lowen Herz and Tone Musume keen to take up the running. PIERRE OREGON (9) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1200m, beaten a head. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Yuki Miyauchi who has two wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. TONE MUSUME (6) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Going up a level this time but she can win again. SUN LYCORIS (2) improved sharply on her eighth two starts back at Nakayama Dirt with a win as public elect over 1200m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can make it back-to-back wins. LOWEN HERZ (4) took up the running last time and turned in front but faded to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over this journey at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
