GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Yumemigokochi has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. YUMEMIGOKOCHI (10) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1700m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. ILE DE PORT (2) finished eighth at his last appearance over 1500m at this track on March 27. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. TAKE NOTICE (3) ran a strong race last time when beaten a nose into second over 1500m at this track. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and three minor placings from four starts and is capable of going well. SCORE (9) missed the frame last start over 920m at this track, finishing seventh. Expect a better run this time around.
