GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Life Is Colorful going forward from the good alley. MEISHO SHOKATSU (7) should be peaking now after finishing second over 1800m at Kyoto last time at the third run of the campaign. Progressive colt who is going better than these and looks the one to beat. RED PALLADIUM (16) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. In the right race to produce another big run. DANTSU URUS (3) finished third last time over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 4.5 lengths. In the money at four of six runs to date. Likely improver with strong prospects. NOCHEBUENA (8) is a first-starter by Kitasan Black from Natale who has been an outstanding producer including dual Gr2 winner Gaia Force. Promising type who is ready to run boldly.
