GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Only a small field with Virtue likely to find a comfortable lead. BIDENT (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 8 lengths over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed and he looks certain to measure up again. VIRTUE (4) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after three runs this campaign, the latest over 1200m at this track. Masaaki Kuwamura retains the ride. Should be in the finish. DIE IS CAST (2) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. LORD BELFAST (6) is a three-year-old colt who is yet to fill a top-three spot in nine starts. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, finishing eighth. Solid claims on best form.
