GOING: S

Race 11 1600m

Track: SOFT     True  

Tintoretto, Ranryo O and Wonder Land to be ridden positively from their inside gates and set up a solid tempo. WONDER LAND (1) had been in sparkling form winning two on end before missing the frame last start over 1400m at Urawa. Returns to the course where he won two back. Has a strong record at this course, scoring four times from five starts. Will be hard to stop. POLYGON WAVE (10) strode forward early last start from his wide draw and was never headed, scoring by 0.8 lengths at this track over 1200m. Expected to take some stopping again. A SHIN PISTON (9) is a distance specialist who improved last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. GOLD LEGACY (12) was safely held when ninth last start over 1870m at Sonoda, beaten 14 lengths after a good first-up win at Kawasaki. Can bounce back.
