GOING: G

Race 2 1200m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo on the cards with Lalatina taking charge. LALATINA (9) went to the paddock after scoring at her only appearance last prep six-and-a-half months ago over 1300m at Urawa. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. May prove tough to beat. CHOUETTE KAZU (2) finished second over 1200m at this track at his last appearance on May 2 2023 and returns today for a new stable. Goes well when resuming from a spell, including two minor placings from three starts. Capable of taking this out. THE CENTRAL (5) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1500m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes. SPECIAL SEAT (4) races well third up so can show more.
