GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

A moderate tempo expected despite the big field. ENDLESS CRY (4) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 14th over 1600m at Hanshin. Sure to appreciate the easier company and deserves another chance. DEPARTURE (10) has switched yards since finishing 11th three weeks ago over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Rates highly so expect her to be prominent. VIP REGULUS (12) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished 12th at his last appearance over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on March 22. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. QUARTZ TESORO (7) is returning from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished 15th at Nakayama over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Isao Hattori and has to be kept safe.
