GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track: AW      

Solid tempo anticipated with King Slayer leading the way. KING SLAYER (9) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 3 lengths at today's track and trip last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. No reason he cannot salute again. PRESTO OMEGA (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1200m at this track. Today might be his day. YAGIRI EPIPHA KUN (8) started at $4.40 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 2.75 lengths, at Urawa over 1400m. Better than the last run suggests. Can feature. PEGASE BRILLER (4) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in contention on the corner before finishing fifth. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
