GOING:

Race 6 1230m

Track:      

Off the inside draw Vento Di Pace should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. VENTO DI PACE (1) opened this campaign with a win two runs back then finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track. Form this track is hard to knock with six wins from 14 starts. Bold showing is expected. JU O (9) last appeared five weeks ago over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt when he finished tenth. This is his first run for the Isao Nagakura stable. Has found a suitable race and can feature. SUEHIRO VENT (3) finished third over 1230m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Can figure in the finish. MONONOFUNO MICHI (10) is generally thereabouts and continued the trend last start when third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and looks one of the key runners.
