GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

With little in the way of early speed Crane Perdita may well find the front. SAND FALCON (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at this track and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job. DERFFLINGER (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1500m at Kawasaki, finishing in sixth. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is one of the main contenders. KOSOKU EMI (11) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish 2 lengths back in fourth over 1200m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. GINZADE NOMU OTOKO (2) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
