GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Just a modest tempo anticipated. MORIBUTO BAKUKAJI (9) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. AL FIORE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when seventh over 1500m at this circuit two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NAMURA LUNA (3) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished tenth over 1500m here. Among the chances while fresh. HORIZON BLUE (6) finished 15 lengths from the winner in ninth at her most recent appearance over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after she got a long way back in the run. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
