GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. JARDIN DU ROI (1) impressed last time with a 3 length win at Funabashi over this journey. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Sure to go very well. SWIFT MARY (4) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on current form she is good enough to take this out. WHITE ASH (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. HANUMAN BEACH (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on February 23, finishing tenth and beaten 10 lengths over 1400m at this track. Under the care of new trainer Kazuma Yabuguchi this prep. Reunites with Dai Okada who has a win when partnering. Don't underestimate.
