GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Bear Way To Go has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. BEAR WAY TO GO (2) is a five-start maiden who finished ninth at her most recent outing over 1800m at Tokyo. This easier assignment offers her a great chance of breaking through. HEROIC ROY (6) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and finished sixth over 1500m at Nagoya. Backmarker who gets home hard and best form puts him right in this. SATSUKI BALLADE (8) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing 16th over 1800m at Niigata a month ago. Expected to feature back in this class. ROGUE TESORO (7) never got into the race when 12th last time at Tokyo Dirt but drops in weight and class for this. Rates well and looks an each-way chance on best form.
