GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Little early pressure expected in a race devoid of an on-pacer. ACCEL HOLY (10) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs. Well held at Tokyo last time but will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. KUROMAKU (4) last appeared five weeks ago over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Tatsuya Nakanishi stable. Worth serious consideration with sights lowered now. RHEIN RAINBOW (11) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished tenth at her last appearance over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt on June 2. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. BLUE STAR (6) was responsible for a better run last start at the second run of the prep, beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
