GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Strong early tempo assured from Tomono Kori and Meisho Sakigake leading the way over Valed Ace. MEISHO SAKIGAKE (10) proved too strong last start and scored by a head over 1700m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Seigo Tsukamoto sticks. Among the leading chances. ILE DE PORT (2) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start and was unplaced at his initial outing for the Satoru Setoguchi stable over 1700m at this track. Will take a lot from that last run. KEY FACE (3) bounced back last start and got the job done by a neck over 1500m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. VALED ACE (8) scored last start at this track to make it two wins and two placings from four starts this campaign. Going well and must be respected.
