GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

No recognised leader to cart them along so a modest pace is in store. DAINO KOKUO (1) lightly raced four-year-old entire who recorded an impressive win when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring with a bit in hand. Ready to take the next step. Leading contender. TAISEI GUST (7) was well held in tougher company two back then last time sat on the pace and stuck on well to finish second over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment here and rates among the leading chances. VILLE BLACK HILL (2) finished ninth over 1200m at this track last time out. Looks suited here and can feature. SEIRAN KUROFUNE (6) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
