GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Yu Memory, Safari and B B Primero. KYUTARO (3) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1000m at this track, getting home by 2 lengths. Winning rider Junichiro Agishi retains the mount. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. YU MEMORY (2) stepped out for her debut over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt back on September 29 and finished fourth. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. NINLIL (5) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1200m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. SAFARI (4) last appeared on April 13 when a good fourth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt which was his only run of the campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Can feature in the finish.

Comes here off a 53-day let-up. Most recently 8th of 15 at Niigata Dirt on May 3 over 1200m, 9 len behind T M Pilot carrying 54.0kg at $4.90. The start before that 4th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on April 12 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind B I Forte with 57.0kg at $4.10. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
