GOING: S

Race 12 2000m

Track: SOFT      

Solid tempo anticipated with Win Briller taking charge. YUINO PACIOREK (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 8 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Finds another suitable race and can figure in the finish. YELLOW BELL (1) disappointed at her last run five-and-a-half months ago when ninth at this track, that effort following back-to-back wins. Leading contender. PONTE DRAGO (2) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into fourth over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. WIN BRILLER (11) finished second at Funabashi two runs back but was less effective last time over 1500m at this track, finishing 10 lengths back in seventh. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
