GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Yuino Ichigeki. MEISHO SHIMATO (7) resumed last start over 1400m at this track where he stalked the pace before drawing clear to score by 0.8 lengths. Has a formidable combination with Oyama Ryutarou who has been aboard for his last two wins. Expecting another bold showing. HOKUZAN BURLY (10) was quickly into stride over 1230m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by a neck. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. One of the chief contenders. SMART MACE (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 820m at this track with today's rider Osamu Shimohara engaged. Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. Key runner. MOZU AKABOSU (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Can contest for a place.
