GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a genuine tempo. RAS DASHEN (8) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Can cross from an awkward gate. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. LORD DEFEAT (7) continues to race well with a win two back at Mizusawa before finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Yuri Takahashi who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. MIGLIORE ALBA (10) got home by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Backmarker who gets home hard. One of the contenders. OVER THE TOP (6) improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage and anticipating another big run.
