GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Sand Falcon, Amalfi and Meisho Ike going hard, closely attended by Coin. MEISHO IKE (9) is racing well this preparation, including a last start win over 1300m at this track to bring up four wins from eight runs in the campaign. Has a formidable combination with Shoma Kanayama who has been aboard for his last three wins. Leading contender. AMALFI (7) led throughout last time over 1400m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Should be prominent again and is right in this. SAND FALCON (3) returns from a spell of ten weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Morioka Dirt over 1000m. Can make his presence felt. T M DENSETSU (5) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Shinsuke Ishikawa is noteworthy. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
