GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead with Cool Cravate, Llantrisant and Aile Denon in advance of Heroic Roy and Hinano Marchs. HEROIC ROY (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Well placed and in the mix. HINANO MARCHS (6) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing half a length away in second over 1600m at this track. Can feature here. IRON ROMAN (1) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 1600m at this track. Has the class to take care of this field. LLANTRISANT (4) is back from a break of six-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when seventh over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Hiroshi Sasano. Should be primed for this.
