GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Little in the way of tactical speed so a moderate tempo is likely. JUST ON TIME (10) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but tired to finish seventh over 1500m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. SUPER HORSE (9) last appeared two months ago over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt when he finished 14th. This is his first run for the Hiroyuki Imazu stable. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. HIDA SAWAYAKA (11) was never in contention on debut last time out over 1600m at Hanshin, finishing 17th. Likely improver who shapes as one to consider this line-up. DAIYU ROUGE (1) missed the frame last start over 2000m at Nakayama when 15th. Well placed in an easier assignment to turn things around.
