GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Florecimiento may lead the way over Karustone Olivia. BOULDER OPAL (10) was never in contention when sixth in a 1200m contest at Funabashi six-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed and up in distance can go a bold race. FEED WIN (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Has never missed the frame second up. Nicely placed to take this out. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (4) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort an eighth over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and gets a chance. OTOKO YUME RAKU (11) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Worth noting his second up record is strong. Capable of featuring.
