|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Smart Alive leading from Pod Beau and Miyabi Mortar. ODENTA (8) scored last time over 1200m at this track, making it two victories from four appearances this preparation. Goes very well at this journey, boasting three wins from five starts and is sure to go well. POD BEAU (11) has been kept fresh since finishing fifth over 1200m at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Has a solid record here at the distance with four wins and two placings from eight tries. Among the leading chances. HYOI ZABURO (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1000m. Has the class to produce another positive result. MASANO HERO (1) was last at the races when he finished 14th over 1500m at Kawasaki on November 19. Definite top-three chance.
