GOING:

Race 2 1600m

Track:      

From the inside gate Suruga Bijin should show enough dash to hold the lead, with pressure from G T Queen. SURUGA BIJIN (1) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1400m after being prominent at the turn. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. HOP STEP (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. A'S INFERNO (14) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent in the run despite the wide draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. YUTO THE KENKEN (13) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1700m at Kokura Dirt on January 25. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Hiromitsu Kurita. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
