GOING:

Race 11 820m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Ingenium, Ankoro and Kuschel all pushing forward from their low draws. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (8) is a last start winner over 1230m at this track, making it two victories from three appearances this time in. Has a very good record here with three wins from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. INGENIUM (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over this track and trip. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ANKORO (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring dominantly here. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. YOU'RE MY DREAM (3) turned in a modest performance last time out over 1000m at Funabashi, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
