GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Toa Hojo has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TOA HOJO (6) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second. Makoto Okabe who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Leading contender. AOI ALPHA ONE (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHATRANJ (8) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. WIN UNIVERSE (2) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Can bounce back.
