GOING:

Race 12 1200m

Track:      

Slick pace with Haseno Express finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. OMEGA SYMPHONY (2) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt when she finished tenth. This is her first run for the Hidemitsu Sakai stable. Key runner. COSMO SONGE (4) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. The engagement of Wada Joji is a positive move. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. MENKOI BOKUCHAN (9) got the cash over 1200m at Funabashi at his most recent appearance on February 12. Definite top-three chance. SERIEL (15) last appeared two months ago over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt when she finished 16th. This is her first run for the Masahiro Uesugi stable. Must respect.
