GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

D S Yell to take charge ahead of Steel Dream at a solid tempo. STEEL DREAM (4) has won six from 10 and is unbeaten in three runs this preparation, including success at this course last start. Racing in top form and should be in the finish again. D S YELL (8) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1800m at this track at his latest appearance. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and could prove tough to beat. FUKUNO BURJ (2) finished seventh last time out over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt when first up from a spell. Steps up in distance today and should be in the finish in this weaker race. ONE TARGET (3) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at today's track and distance last start in a far better effort. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
