GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Bear Shot to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SUGINO PEGASUS (8) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1500m at this track, scoring by a neck. Winning rider Takahiro Imai stays aboard and he is a leading contender. HIDA SAWAYAKA (5) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1500m contest at this track last time out by 1.5 lengths. Race sets up well for her. O K EAGLE (1) failed to figure again last time over 1500m at this track when ninth. Well placed in this line-up and is among the place chances. AIZUWAKAMATSU (11) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 1500m at this track. Can bounce back.
