GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Ittoshogu should find the front with Egg Hunt and New Walk on her heels. ITTOSHOGU (9) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on May 24 over 1300m when she scored by 5 lengths. Winning rider Shuji Akaoka retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EGG HUNT (8) was well fancied last start over 1800m at this track when fifth, beaten 7 lengths. Yuta Goma who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. JUGGERNAUT (4) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 800m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. NEW WALK (1) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fifth over 1300m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
