GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Trill. CANAL GALE (2) ran below expectations last time at Funabashi over 1500m, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Form this track is hard to knock with two wins from four starts. Bold showing expected. KAZUYA (8) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Should be hard to stop. ILES FLOTTANTES (7) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 2000m at this track after she was in contention on the turn. Cherry-ripe now and looks a clear threat. FOR MY DEAR (6) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Urawa at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
