GOING:

Race 6 2000m

Track:      

Should be a good battle early on with Brilliant Spica, Rijn Warrior and Vitalisi leading the charge. ROUGE MABELLE (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 2000m at this track last time. Ryo Novata has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. VITALISI (3) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RIJN WARRIOR (7) hit the frame two starts ago at Urawa but ran below par last time over 2000m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to make amends. NEW DIVIDE (4) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 2000m at this track last time out. Tadanari Konno has registered two minor placings when on board. Among the top-three hopes.
