GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Shuttle Tosho likely to find the front over Sei Parel and Shingun Armet. SEI PAREL (1) returned from a break with a tiring sixth over 1400m at this track after racing on the speed in the early stages. Can bounce back. DANTE'S SEVEN (7) missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1200m at Funabashi, finishing seventh. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEISHO FELIO (9) got well back over 1400m at Urawa last time and never threatened, eventually finishing tenth. Look for an improved run here. EXCEL BLACK (6) is a four-year-old entire who is still a maiden after 13 starts but has been in the placings three times. Safely held when resuming last start over 1500m at this track, finishing 11th. Does boast a solid record at the second run back. Solid contender in this lineup.
