GOING: G

Race 5 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Ortu Solis to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. ORTU SOLIS (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 1200m at this track. Winning rider Takehiro Kasano sticks. Major player. ANGE CLAIR (12) showed early speed from an outside draw last time out and led for much of the way before finding one better at the end of 1400m at Urawa. Should be tough to rein in again. BETELGEUSE (6) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1500m at Urawa when well in the market. Fitter and one of the main contenders. NOT IN THE EYE (7) was well-fancied when resuming last start but could only manage tenth over 1200m at this track. Has never missed the frame second up. Should be much improved.
1 x24x1 ORTU SOLIS
YUTA SATO

Second run back. Comes off a 37-day let-up. First-up after four months won by 5 len at this track October 1 over 1200m defeating Harmony Hokuto carrying 56kg at $11.40. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at this track on June 6 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Meisho Benibana with 56kg at $3.40. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.
