GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Tempo strong with Lune Saphir and Dantsu Talon pushing forward. DANTSU TALON (11) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1300m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and looks sure to be in the finish again. MAJOR TESORO (9) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1750m at this track on October 20. Comes here with definite claims. GRAF (5) has switched yards since scoring by 1.5 lengths at Kanazawa over 1400m on June 15. Definite top-three claims. TAGANO AMICAL (12) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can figure in the finish.
