GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Obi One Ryusei, Awesome World and Yasaka Soleil can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. YASAKA SOLEIL (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. BENINO PEARL (9) ran above expectations and got up for second at big odds at her latest appearance at this track. Good signs last time and is capable of another bold performance. MISSILE BISCUITS (7) turned in an eye-catching run over 1200m at Funabashi last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Will spot them a start but watch for her late. DIVINE WILL (1) made progress last time out, finishing third here. Finds a nice race and can play a big role again.
