Race 2 1300m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Should be a keen tempo with a field of youngsters lining up. BERMUDA BOY (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when 18th over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 14 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to bounce back to form. TAKAYOSHI (12) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 1200m at Kokura. Should be in the finish. AOI ITO (4) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 900m at this track. Should be ridden forward again and shapes as one to consider. AARTI (7) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, scoring in a 900m contest at this track by 4 lengths. Deserves serious consideration.
