GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Decent field size but it lacks an on-pacer so only expecting a moderate tempo. TOKIMEKI TARO (9) is a 10-start maiden who could only manage to finish 12th at his latest appearance over 2000m at Tokyo after he got a long way back in the run. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. AVIATOR (11) settled well back last start and never threatened when 16th over 2200m at Niigata. Beautifully placed in this easier assignment and a hope. BOSCO VELOCE (2) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish 15th at his latest appearance over 2400m at Kyoto. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. AMANDINE (6) missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Kyoto over 2000m when 14th. Can bounce back returning to the dirt.
