GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Jazz Pianist taking up the running ahead of Mega Million and Kyoei Cerezo. KYOEI CEREZO (5) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Takashi Mizuno. Finished tenth at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. Well-placed and looks ready to fire. JAZZ PIANIST (9) returns from a spell. Finished third at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep ten weeks ago. Has a win and four minor placings from seven starts at this track and distance. A bold showing is expected. VAINQUEUR CITY (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Kawasaki over 1500m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. YASAKA SOLEIL (12) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1500m at this track. Top-three prospects.
