GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Promising Gal to take charge ahead of Yuzunoki at a solid tempo. PROMISING GAL (4) resumes in a similar race to her last run four months ago when second, beaten one length. Capable of playing a major role. BORDEAUX RISKLESS (1) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1700m at this track. In the right race and is a winning hope. OTANI'S SMILE (9) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Junki Mochizuki who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Sure to be competitive. METALCRAFT (10) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 1700m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
