GOING:

Race 5 1800m

Track:      

Plenty of pace on show, headed by Yurari Yurameite, Miracle Dream and Egg Hunt. EGG HUNT (8) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on May 10 over 1600m when he scored by 3 lengths. Winning rider Yuta Goma retains the mount. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to score again. MIRACLE DREAM (9) has been in great form with four placings in succession, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. YURARI YURAMEITE (7) went forward over 1400m at this track last time but found a couple better. Record at this track is strong. Should be involved in the finish. RYUNOSU (5) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing sixth. Seishiro Osawa gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
