GOING:

Race 12 1300m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Willy's Rock leading the way. WILLY'S ROCK (2) ran a better race last start to finish third at this track over 1300m. Nicely placed and rates highly off that run. Expected to be very competitive. NISHINO CARO (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. PIANO ACCORD (7) has switched yards since finishing tenth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims. K TWO SCUDO (4) missed the placings last start when 16th over 1800m at Tokyo. Goes from the JRA circuit to an inferior race today and is capable of featuring prominently.
