GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Decepticon and Kojin Rise taking up the running, closely attended by Miyagi Emperor and Krauselung. AYASAN DREAM (9) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1400m at Urawa. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. DECEPTICON (8) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. RUNNING HOT (13) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at this track over 1400m. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. KOJIN RISE (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths at Funabashi over 1500m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
