GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Reiwa Epoch leading the way. CARAMEL SLIME (2) reunites with Ryouma Kimatsuka after scoring with ease over 1400m at Kawasaki last time. Form this campaign has been strong with two wins to her credit. Leading contender. JINGGA BLITZ (3) returned from a spell two months ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish. THINKING FURSA (10) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. BE VIVO (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
