GOING: G

Race 4 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Sekitei Juo should find the front with Taisei Uno and Tassel on his heels. YOTARO (7) has switched yards since finishing fifth seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Kicked off the campaign with back-to-back Niigata placings. Key runner who will be tough to beat at this level. SEKITEI JUO (4) recorded a fourth successive minor placing last time out, finishing second over 1200m at this track. Goes well at this distance including four wins so he is expected to be in the finish. RYUNO HILDR (10) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1200m at this track, scoring by a neck. Has a wide gate to overcome but she is worth including. TASSEL (3) placed on two consecutive occasions before finishing fourth last time out over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.
