GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Triole and These Days leading the way. TRIOLE (9) returns from a spell. Finished third at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep four-and-a-half months ago. Reunites with Eita Inoue who has been in the money two times when aboard. Should be in the finish. THESE DAYS (8) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing third over 1600m at this track last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. MONONOFU GOLD (6) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1600m at this track last start. Can make amends. HOPE IN THE DARK (3) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by one length over 1600m at this track. In the mix again.
