GOING: S

Race 8 1600m

Track: SOFT      

A keen early contest likely with Kazu Orval and Gold Radman pushing for the lead with Kitto Sakura Saku and Snow Fes on their backs. GOLD RADMAN (6) is racing well without winning. Last start finished second over 1800m at Funabashi. Yet to break through at this trip but has registered three minor placings. Leading chance. SNOW FES (2) started at $7.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 1.2 lengths at this track over 1600m. Nicely placed to turn things around. AIR SEIRAN (5) was fresh from a two months break last start and scored by a nose at this track. Boasts three wins here. Among the chances. KAZU ORVAL (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at Urawa. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
