GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Sammaru Crazy crossing from the outside gate. SAMMARU CRAZY (12) returns from a spell of 12 weeks after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 1600m at this track. Has a strong record at this course, scoring two times from four starts. Among the leading chances. AMAZING STAR (1) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1600m at this track. Should be hard to stop. RAIPACHI (11) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Kawasaki over 2000m when first-up last time in work. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. SANEI CONDOR (2) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
