GOING: G

Race 11 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Plenty of pace with Eurosita Beat and Neraiuchi up front, pressured by Any Thunder and Taro Meister. EUROSITA BEAT (7) scored by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Hard to knock form this course having never missed the frame including three wins and one placing. Among the leading chances. NERAIUCHI (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1500m at this track last time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see him run well. BEER BOY (5) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten half a length into second over 1400m at this track. Can run a bold race. DIAMOND BEACH (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. The engagement of Masashige Honda is noteworthy. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player.
