GOING:

Maiden Race 2600m

Track:      

Fortune Rose should lead and dictate terms. Lots of these close to breaking through. HEY JUDE (7) was well fancied when resuming last start over 2000m at this track when third, beaten 4 lengths. Will strip fitter and can atone. DON'T TESTA MASTER (11) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 2400m at Kyoto ten weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. CHANT DU RAFALE (10) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 2600m at Kokura when he was in the firing line all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GIOMBAYASHI (14) remains a maiden after nine starts. Settled well back last start but wound up steadily to finish fourth over 2000m at Hakodate. Can sneak into the finish.
