GOING:

Race 2 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Valiant and Reward Merlin leading from Laplace. LORRENZO (2) last appeared five weeks ago over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt when he finished tenth. This is his first run for the Mamoru Tanaka stable. Key runner who will be tough to beat. VALIANT (3) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from five starts. Leading player again. LAPLACE (10) was a most impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Record at this track is strong. Capable of a big run. MALOCA OF JAGUAR (4) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
