GOING: G

Race 11 1500m

Track: GOOD      

A strong gallop is likely with Sirius and Live Mustard taking up the running, closely attended by Yoruno Teio and Spencer Barows. SPENCER BAROWS (6) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1500m at this track on August 20. Tsubasa Sasagawa has been the pilot at his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. LIVE MUSTARD (9) continued the solid form last start, finishing 1.5 lengths back in second at this track over today's trip. Among the leading chances again. SIRIUS (7) sat on the pace when fresh from a spell last start but faded to be beaten 21 lengths when tenth over 1200m at Funabashi. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. CHOMECHOME (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race.
