GOING:

Race 3 1000m

Track: AW     True  

Off the low draw Hidenosuke can take it up a race lacking a genuine leader. HIDENOSUKE (2) finished out of the money when ninth over 1200m at Ohi four weeks ago. Has a good record at this course and distance and the engagement of Masaaki Kuwamura is noteworthy. Has the class to find the winners' list. TRANCE RUNNER (12) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five-and-a-half months. Bold showing expected. TAISETSU O (11) finished seventh at this track and distance at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect fresh. KANETOSHI CELESTE (8) returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1000m here and can kick off with a bold showing.
