GOING:

Race 3 1700m

Track: GOOD     True  

The pace looks strong from the outset. LOYLY (2) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1600m at this track. Has a good association with Takayuki Yano with a run of four top-three results. Right in this. HESPERIS (6) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1800m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. KEN BETELGEUSE (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1500m at Urawa. Winning rider Genki Fujimoto sticks. Has claims. MOKO PUNCH (1) is a last-start winner two-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at Urawa. Should be involved in the finish.
