GOING:

Race 3 1000m

Track:      

Nothing to run them along here so the pace looks even at best. EDEBALI (9) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish 16th at the latest run over 2000m at Niigata. Set to return in style. PUERARIA CHEKO (2) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Must respect recent market confidence so give her another chance. O SHIN DIA (5) is on a seven-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1000m at this track. Nice run last time and has solid top-three prospects. OSUMI CATEDRAL (4) was handy in the run last time out before fading late to finish 10 lengths away in sixth over this trip at this track. Minor claims.
