GOING: G

Race 12 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Strong pace from Dynato Selene and Miyakono Tiara matching motors with Bari Flavor close at hand. BARI FLAVOR (10) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fourth when fresh from a spell two starts back then improved and scored over 1500m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. DYNATO SELENE (1) finished ninth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt at her most recent appearance on February 22. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Gen Hayashi. Rates highly and should be primed for this. KEIAI INDARA (4) improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. MIYAKONO TIARA (9) is racing well, most recently finishing second five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1600m at this track. Should be thereabouts again.
