GOING: G

Open Class Race 2890m

Track: STANDARD      

VIGENERE (4) did a reasonable job when he finished second in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two runs back. Held that form last time when 1.3 lengths away in second in a steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Looks very hard to beat in this sort of form. PERCUSSION (3) returns after four months in the paddock. Raced just once when last in work and won a 2860m maiden steeplechase at Kokura by 4 lengths. Expect another bright start to his prep. OSIRIS BRAIN (5) resumes from a long break. Goes well fresh and has ability over the jumps. Has good early speed and expected to give a sight. KAISER BAROWS (7) has returned in great order this campaign. Placed when resuming in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then won last time by 4 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura most recently. Has ability and looks a definite danger.
