GOING:

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: YIELDING      

Either Principatus or Regime Change should find the front and dictate terms. REGIME CHANGE (12) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths over 1800m at Sapporo. Has upside and can open his account. PRINCIPATUS (2) turned in a good effort on debut 12 weeks ago when one length away in second at Fukushima over 2000m. Has not been to the races since that outing. Handy draw will assist and can feature again. NEURO FIGHTER (4) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1800m at Fukushima. Strong winning chance on best figures. KOSAI RIKURI (7) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1800m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
