GOING: G

Race 3 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Kofuseigetsu should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. TWILIGHT (1) is a last-start winner over 1400m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 1.75 lengths. Sure to take some stopping again. BREST (5) looks close to a win, the latest effort a strong third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Leading player again. UENOMARU THUNDER (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. KOFUSEIGETSU (9) continued a frustrating run for connections when a close second over 1600m at this track last time. Yet to win at this distance but has recorded three minor placings so he is worth including.
