GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Tana V Hachi Turbo and Tiger Road prominent. SATONO FREY (17) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1600m at Hanshin. Lightly raced colt who finished third on debut last prep and looks set to open this campaign in a positive way as well. TANA V HACHI TURBO (5) is yet to break through after eight starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1600m at Hanshin. Has good early speed and gets his chance to break through. LIEN MAHINA (6) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1600m at this track. Strong prospects on best figures. GOD EYE (13) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth last start over 1200m at Kokura two months ago. Should park just off the speed. Don't underestimate.
