Race 7 1600m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. RAJASTHAN ROYAL (3) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by half a length over 1200m at this track. Looks the testing material again. WIN CATHERINE (1) has not raced since her debut on November 23 over 1800m at Kyoto when she finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. NANYO LOYAL (7) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished tenth at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m, beaten 14 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. BOGEN MOND (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into ninth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
