GOING:

Maiden Race 1600m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. HAKUSHIN BRIAN (2) has been in the money five times including first-up last start on May 25 when second over 1600m at this track. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this venue. Among the leading players. GRASS GREED (16) returned from a break of three months and finished third over this course and distance last time out. Sure to run well again. ABARE RYU (3) has been very good at both runs to date and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1600m. Draws ideally and is among the main chances. DERMA ARIEL (15) finished third last time over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
