GOING: S

Race 2 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Any Thunder. ANY THUNDER (6) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at Nagoya to make it two in a row. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. KANEMITSU TWIST (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to go a couple better. YES YUI CAN (2) has switched yards since finishing second five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1500m at Kanazawa. Can measure up for the new barn. KNOW THE TRUTH (11) is returning from a spell of ten weeks. Finished fourth at Nagoya over 1500m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Takashi Mizuno. Can figure.
