GOING: G

Race 11 1700m

Track: GOOD     True  

Lovely View has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LOVELY VIEW (8) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1500m at Urawa. Kept fresh for this assignment and expected to measure up again. GOLD BALANCER (4) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 2200m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. TAISEI WARRIOR (9) ran below par last time when tenth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Finds a more suitable race and look for an improved run. OH MY GOODNESS (5) was fifth over 2200m at this track last time out. Suitably placed and back in trip can turn things around.
