GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Eel Tesoro from her wide draw. CHAMPION FUJI (1) comes here off a break of ten months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Ohi. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Masamitsu Sakai. Looks a winning chance. SHONAN NATSUZORA (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Must raise the bar but another win beckons. WIN AWARD (2) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Has a solid record at this circuit. Sure to be competitive. DRIVE A LOCUS (5) has been racing well including a last start third over 1300m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again.
