Race 11 1400m Track: GOOD True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo anticipated with Mystirion taking charge. STAR GRIP (3) is a last start winner over 1400m at this track, making it three victories from three appearances this time in. Has a strong record here, including five wins. Should be in the finish. KAITO KING (7) hit the line nicely last time to grab second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over today's journey at Urawa. Will be a major player again. P M NANA (8) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out. SUN LYCORIS (6) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when sixth over 1200m at Monbetsu. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Yuya Yamazaki. Has to be respected.
