GOING: S

Race 7 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine tempo with Buffe leading the way. RAVEN KNIGHT (3) resumes after a break of five-and-a-half months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1000m at this track. Can return in winning form. VITORIA REZA (6) comes here off a break of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at this track. Sure to make her presence felt. YAMAWAKE (4) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability and is a leading player. BUFFE (9) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 11 lengths into ninth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
