GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Just a modest tempo anticipated. CURL RUI KO (8) has switched yards since finishing fifth four weeks ago over 1400m at Nagoya. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. TSUWAMONO (5) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 7 lengths, over 1300m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FORTISSIMO DAI (2) finished second first-up at this track then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at this track over 1300m when beaten 13 lengths. Backmarker who gets home hard. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. SUN WHITE CLIFF (9) finished third last time over 1300m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
