GOING:

Race 12 2000m

Track:      

Jun Victoire should find the front with Dia Crystal and Win Briller on his heels. ISA CHIL COME COME (11) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 2000m at this track last time out. Top chance. BUILD RAPPORT (12) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 2000m at Kawasaki. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. JUN VICTOIRE (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on January 12, finishing 15th and beaten 22 lengths over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Now under the care of new trainer Naoto Mizukami. One to consider. WIN BRILLER (3) was beaten 31 lengths into tenth at the second run back from a break in a 2000m contest at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
