GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Dual Blade and Win Ares pressing forward with Metcha Hattori not far away. DUAL BLADE (11) last appeared when he finished second over 920m at this track on August 18. Could be hard to stop. CHAR MAVIS (3) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. WIN ARES (6) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1500m here after win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. HOSHO BIFU (12) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1700m at this track. In the mix.
