GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Sekitei Juo is the likely leader at a slick tempo. ODENTA (7) resumed last time out and finished third over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Among the top chances. DERMA RUDRA (8) found the line in great style to score by half a length at the most recent appearance over 1200m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Big chance make it two on end. ALL NIPPON (9) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being in contention on the turn over 2000m at Kawasaki, an improvement on her sixth at Kawasaki the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ABELIA FACE (3) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten a neck. Will trim down second-up. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
