GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Tentai Kansoku and Fire Waltz can be prominent. TENTAI KANSOKU (6) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break eight months ago over 1200m at this track. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has a strong record here, including two wins. Will be hard to stop. FIRE WALTZ (7) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at Urawa when fresh from a break. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she good enough to play a major role. BEL LEONE (12) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish fifth over the same trip at Kawasaki after he was prominent at the turn. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. THE BIG MAN (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 5 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role.
