|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Even tempo only with Peduncle Arch pushing forward from the outside gate in a race that lacks genuine early speed. STUBBORN IMERU (4) last appeared when he finished 12th over 2880m at Nakayama on April 13. Has switched to the Katsuo Ishii stable. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. KEEP BRIGHT'N (7) resumes from a spell of a year and is having his first outing under new trainer Masaki Iwasaki. Finished 14th at Tokyo Dirt over 2100m at the opening run last time in work. One of the better hopes despite the layoff. SCOPULUS (10) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished 11th at Fukushima over 2000m when first-up last time in work. Sure to make her presence felt. OVERMASTER (3) was in the placings at his first three runs this preparation before breaking through over 1800m at this track last time. Yet to miss the top three here in four starts. Among the top-three hopes.
