GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Without frontrunners engaged Quiet Enif gets the chance to lead. MEISHO YORIKIRI (1) last appeared when eighth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt five-and-a-half months ago. Has switched to the Fujigasaki Kazuhito stable. Rates highly and should take some beating coming back a level. QUIET ENIF (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when fifth over 920m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. RAMESSES (3) settled well back then made a little ground and finished in sixth last time out over 920m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Settles back early but winds up late. Among the main hopes. WESTERN TAMAYA (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
