GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Good pace expected with Secret Matter, Stun Grenade and Coral Treasure paving the way. CORAL TREASURE (11) reunites with Soichi Kato after scoring with ease over 1500m at this track last time. Is in top form this preparation, chalking up four wins. Major player. PARTIDA (3) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last four starts, most recently finishing third over 1700m at this track. Winning claims yet again. KANNON SOLARE (10) is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over 1400m at Kasamatsu eight days ago. Has a wide gate to overcome but should feature. JAMBALAYA (12) could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1700m at this track. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
