GOING:

Race 11 2200m

Track: AW     True  

Major Quality and Curren Alcantara should roll forward and dictate. TSUKAINO KIZUNA (1) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 30 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. KITASAN DOSHIN (3) was well in commission last start over 2200m at this track when second, beaten 30 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. GOLD BALANCER (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 15 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to find some form. CURREN ALCANTARA (4) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1600m, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Among the chances.
