GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Ortu Solis and Surreal possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. ORTU SOLIS (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1200m at this track. Takehiro Kasano stays aboard. Likely to feature. RANHARDT (8) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Ticks all the right boxes. WIN GLADNESS (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 8 lengths into eighth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMILE NAGOMI (3) finished 5 lengths away in seventh at her last appearance over 1400m at Urawa on November 27 after she got a long way back in the run. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
