GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Madeini Suru and Token Mambo. PIERRE TEXAS (10) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track, clocking in 2.5 lengths from the winner. Has the right profile. TAIHEINO YO (1) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 9 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Perfectly placed and is sure to make amends. MAONO ENCORE (11) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Kawasaki over 1500m on October 8. One to consider. EXMEDI NO TSURUGI (3) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1000m at this track when beaten a neck. Among the chances again.
