GOING:

Race 11 1580m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Danse Du Vent and Blue Tice kicking up to hold out the next wave. DANSE DU VENT (8) started at $2.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1800m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Best form stacks up nicely and deserves another chance. HIRONO RAFALE (5) got home by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Leading player again. CHUWANO KISEKI (7) improved last start but found a couple better over 1580m at this track. The engagement of Tatsuya Watanabe is noteworthy. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. AKARI RICKY (4) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1580m at this track. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
