GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Strong tempo with London Kid and Peaceful Gold leading the way over Counter Seven. COUNTER SEVEN (12) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Nakayama after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. PEACEFUL GOLD (9) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1200m. Lightly raced filly with bright prospects. AMBITIOUS YOSHINO (11) stepped out on his debut over 1200m at this track two weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 4 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end. LAPILLUS IMERU (8) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 9 lengths when 12th over 1400m at Chukyo. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
