GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Strong pace with Derma Okuridashi, Mayo Tesoro and Star Closer rolling forward. DERMA OKURIDASHI (10) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten half a length into second over 1300m at this track. Winning rider Naohito Tanaka stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. MAYO TESORO (11) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1300m at this track. Should cross from wide out. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EYES ON ME (4) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. FUKU FANTASY (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
