GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Homme Brave probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. TEN RICH SMILE (4) closed last campaign with four consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of ten weeks. Ryo Takamatsu stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. MARGOT FESTA (8) finished out of the money when seventh in a 1500m contest at Kawasaki six-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. ON THE BASARA (9) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1300m at Mizusawa. In the mix. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (6) produced another moderate effort last start when eighth over 1400m at Mizusawa. Nicely placed to find some form.
