Open Class Race 2860m Track: FIRM Fine |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
REVERSIBLE LANE (2) returned from a 104-day spell with a solid third in a 2750m steeplechase at Fukushima last start. Key runner who is expected to feature again. DREAM SOLDIER (8) returned from a 196-day layoff last time out at Fukushima in a 2750m steeplechase, finishing fifth when partnered by today's jockey Takaya Ueno. Has ability and strips fitter. Worth including. NIHONPIRO HALO (3) won a maiden steeplechase at this track two runs ago then performed poorly when beaten 10 lengths into sixth in a steeplechase at this track over 2860m last time. Good enough to turn things around. MY SUNSHINE (5) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a steeplechase at Tokyo. Improved and filled a minor prize last time at Fukushima in a steeplechase over 3380m, beaten a nose. Worth including.
