GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Dawdling affair devoid of a pacemaker. BRAVE CHEVALIER (6) improved last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. INNAMORATO (4) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 11th over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. NIHONPIRO MILAK (5) has been out of the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when tenth at Hanshin Dirt. Down in the weights this time. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here. WIN GRAFTON (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 17 lengths from the winner in 18th over 1200m at Kokura at the second run back from a spell. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
