GOING: G

Race 2 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Lots of speed predominantly from Tamagokakegohan, Ma Kan Emi O and Monge Sakura. CRISPINO (6) is returning from a spell of 11 months. Finished 14th at this track over 1600m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Junpei Morishita. Expected to feature on best form. MARUKAN MAYER (14) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1200m at this track. Tadanari Konno stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Best form puts him right in this. KEIRYU O (11) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. MA KAN EMI O (4) turned in a nice run when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track then missed the placings last time when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at this track. Top-three contender.
