|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Merkur leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. CHO KANSEI (1) improved last start when he made late ground but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. TOTONOO (4) placed at Sonoda two back before finishing seventh at this track last time. Capable of playing a major role on his best form. A SHIN CINERARIA (9) didn't feature last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver. MERKUR (2) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track. Capable of another big run.
