GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Expecting a solid pace with Bystol, Kinsen O and Copano James leading the charge. T O SIRIUS (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1600m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with six wins and three minor placings from 12 starts. Top chance again. SNOW HORN ROAD (8) has changed stables since being well held last time in tenth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has strong claims off a Tokyo placing three back.. KINSEN O (1) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth over 1400m. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance so is worth another chance. BYSTOL (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 5 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1600m at this track. The engagement of Minoru Miyagawa is a positive move. Capable of featuring.
