GOING:

Race 7 1580m

Track:      

Expecting Chateau Periotto to lead Aokami at just a moderate tempo. CROSS RATE (3) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Will be tough to stop again. AVENTURIER (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track three weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. AOKAMI (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1500m at Nagoya after being in the firing line on the corner. Is unbeaten in two starts here. Has the class to take care of this field. CHATEAU PERIOTTO (6) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.75 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
