GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

From the wide draw Viride Silva can cross and set the tempo in a race without genuine pace. OTEMBAMUSUME (5) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. BOUQUET DE GRACE (2) resumes from a spell of ten months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Bold showing expected. LA ROYALE (4) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 3.5 lengths. Leading player again. EIYU MAX (10) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from five runs this prep, finishing 1.5 lengths away in third most recently over 1230m at this track. Another top-three finish is on the cards.
