Maiden Race 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with Indigo Azul and Dual Task up front. IRON SOLID (15) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after closing off last preparation with six consecutive minor placings. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expecting a bold showing. DUAL TASK (4) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 5 lengths into third over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to run well. INDIGO AZUL (11) missed the frame last time out when ninth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Still a maiden but has been in the money on two occasions at this journey. Sure to be competitive. SAILROCKET (3) has not been sighted since he finished sixth over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt on March 15. Can sneak into the frame without surprising.
