GOING:

Race 11 1800m

Track:      

A keen pace battle assured Finger prominent, joined by Realize Glint and Saint Lazare. The feature race on the card. SAINT LAZARE (3) was well beaten in better company two back then tackled an easier race last time when a 4 length winner over 2000m at this track. Found winning form back at the right level last start and looks hard to beat. TRIGLAV HILL (1) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1800m here at his last appearance on February 18. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Winning rider Kohei Matsuyama sticks. Best form puts him right in this. FINGER (11) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1700m at this circuit when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. REALIZE GLINT (2) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Worth including.
