GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Fuji Eugene taking up the running ahead of Hiroshikun and Noble Saturn. FUJI EUGENE (4) last raced when successful by a head over 1400m at Sonoda five months ago. Capable of playing a major role. HIROSHIKUN (5) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 2000m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. NOBLE SATURN (8) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SUZUKA GOKETSU (7) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1500m at Kawasaki. No surprise to see him in the mix.
