GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Tamamo Snow Dance and Schone Augen kicking up to hold out the next wave. FRANKIE BAROWS (13) has registered three minor placings from three runs this campaign. Turned in another good performance at his most recent run when second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt after he was always up in the leading division. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SCHONE AUGEN (16) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. HAPPY DUN CHAN (7) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. SANTO MONARCA (9) has filled a minor placing on three occasions in nine starts, all at today's distance. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Expected to measure up.
