GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

In a race devoid of pace Ruko Beauty will be prominent. REVENAIS (3) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing fifth over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. RUKO BEAUTY (10) finished out of the money when sixth over 1500m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Worth forgiving the last few efforts and a key runner if at her best. SABLE COURRIER (8) has switched yards since finishing tenth five weeks ago over 800m at Urawa. Should be primed for this and is one of the genuine hopes in the race. KEYAKIZAKA (7) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when 14th over 1800m at Tokyo. Well-placed in this easier company and deserves another chance.
