GOING: S

Race 12 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Fast tempo assured with Digest, Raipachi and Reve De Face going toe-to-toe. DIGEST (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1500m at this track. Could take some stopping again. RAIPACHI (7) is a handy six-year-old entire who returned from a break last start and finished just 0.6 lengths away in third over 2000m at Urawa. Leading player. SCENIC VIEW (3) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by one length when resuming last time out over 1500m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. AOI KOKI (10) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1600m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.

Second-up. First-up after nearly two years 10th of 12 at this track on March 13 over 1200m, 10 len behind Eternel with 56kg at $13.50. Previously second-up won by 1.0 len at Niigata May 7 2023 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Hollywood Hills carrying 58.0kg at $6.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Second-up today. Last outing ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track March 10 over 1500m defeating Magic Moment with 56kg at $4.40. At only start last preparation won by a neck at this track October 29 over 1500m defeating Canal Rocks carrying 56kg at $1.60. Clearly the one to beat again. Improver with winning prospects.

Second-up today. Not raced for 36 days. Last outing gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 11 at Urawa on February 27 over 2000m, 0.6 len behind Cosmo Pandora with 57kg at $2.20. At only start last preparation failed to make an impression; 5th of 12 at Urawa on December 26 over 2000m, 6 len behind Albus Draco with 57kg at $2.60. Among the leading chances.

Useful entire. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at this track on March 14 over 1600m, 6 len behind Rize Rouge Sellier with 56kg at $1.30. The race before that eased back early on 10th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on January 25 over 1800m, 8 len behind Taisei Addict carrying 58.0kg at $105.50. Can do a lot better than that last run.
