GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Noble Schon. NOBLE SCHON (6) was in the market when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt an was solid enough when midfield. Fitter and finds a more suitable contest so can take this out. SMART SCOPE (2) finished third at Nakayama Dirt two runs back but was less effective last time over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Perfectly placed and is likely to be there at the finish. LUXE BRILLANTE (3) landed a hat trick when she scored two back but was down the track in a richer race over a shorter trip last start. Is unbeaten in two starts at this course and distance. Contender. SONIC (1) is fitter for recent racing on the JRA circuit. Better placed this time and draws well so is worth following up.
