GOING: G

Race 11 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Lady Tiara to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. WORLD AIM (2) clocked-in second behind Pepita D'oro when fresh from a break last time out at this track over 1400m. Has a terrific record here with three wins and one placing from four starts. Bold showing expected. TAISEI GUST (7) finished sixth at this track over this distance last time out. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring nine times from 17 starts. Among the leading chances. FESTIVE LUDI (1) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into seventh. Has a good record at this course and distance, including seven wins. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. SOMEDAY (10) was last at the races when she finished tenth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt on October 26. Now under the care of new trainer Kazuo Watanabe. One to consider.
