GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Eternal Blue and Score leading the charge. ONIJI OTANI (1) ran a much better race last start when second over 2000m at this track. Draws to enjoy a nice run. Excellent prospects in this suitable race. ETERNAL BLUE (12) finished second over 1700m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Should park just off the speed despite the draw and can be in the finish. AIR MUGNERET (5) is yet to find his best figures in two runs this preparation, the latest finishing sixth over 2000m at this track. Looks well placed here and can do much better. SCORE (4) last appeared two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Himeji when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Kiyomi Sakoda stable and should be primed for this.
