GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Silver Rider, Steel Agate and Namura Lien to take up the running at a strong tempo. FIRST BOY (4) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Sure to go very well. SASUKE LIEN (1) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 1500m at this track last time out. Soichi Kato stays aboard. Sure to run well. SILVER RIDER (7) scored a dominant win at Monbetsu over 1000m at his latest appearance on November 3. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Hiroyuki Imazu. Has found the right race and is worth including. STEEL AGATE (3) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 1500m at this track last time out. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with five placings from eight starts. Deserves respect on his best figures.
