GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

No recognised leader so Yodono Story could find himself in front. CHONO YONI MAU (4) is a 30-start maiden who was close to a win before a three-month break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track. Reunites with Masayoshi Aoyagi and it might be her day. BIG GATE (7) is back at the races for the first time since December 15. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1500m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. JUNE SURRENDER (8) is yet to break through in 24 runs. Finished 12th at his last appearance over 2000m at Urawa on February 25 after he was well back on straightening. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. COMPOUNDER (5) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
