GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Yuigahama Beach leading the way. YUME KOI (6) was in the finish last time when beaten a nose into second over 1400m at this track. Can run well again and take this out. COLLEGIUM (2) saluted over 1400m at Himeji at his most recent appearance on February 6. Rates highly and could take some beating. KARATSUNO (1) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a neck into second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Strong prospects. PRECIOUS STONE (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Ready to find winning form.
