GOING: S

Race 12 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Expecting a strong gallop with Crown Shooter and Master Of Life taking up the running over Yakumo. MASTER OF LIFE (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1200m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Finds a nice race and can atone. HONEY TOAST (12) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Ryo Fujita who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. EYES (5) has switched yards since finishing 12th five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Well-placed and is among the chances. GAMMO LEGEND (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone.
