GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD      

The speedy Riko Louise should find the front with Force Children and Appraiser on her heels. MOZU MASTERPIECE (1) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led until straightening before finishing fourth over 1500m at this track last time out. Expected to go close. APPRAISER (4) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. F T GALE (2) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Shoya Hozono sticks and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. FORCE CHILDREN (12) has four placings from six starts this preparation and last start finished 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at Kawasaki. Winning claims if at his peak.
