GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Keiai Maple and Meisho Hyuma up front. PLACER GOLD (3) has switched yards since finishing seventh seven weeks ago over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Much better placed here. Winning chance for the new barn. KEIAI MAPLE (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1400m at this track to launch the last campaign. Gets the inside draw and is a strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. FORTE ROSA (2) started at $2.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh over 1300m. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance so worth another chance. VIN QUET DOMINGO (8) got the prize two runs ago and was good again last time out when second over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Can play a leading role.
