GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Expect a genuine pace with plenty of speed engaged. WILSON TESORO (7) has enjoyed a let-up of seven weeks since he won when resuming over 1600m at Funabashi, scoring by a neck. Will be better for that latest run and is a great chance to get the prize again. MAMA COCHA (11) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on April 15, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1200m at Ohi. One of the genuine hopes in the race. YAMANIN CERCHI (4) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims. BEST GREEN (8) scored an impressive win by 30 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1200m at Monbetsu. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up.
