GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Big Reversal to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. BIG REVERSAL (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Can figure prominently. GRAND NEBULA (4) was well fancied last start over 1230m at this track when eighth, beaten 8 lengths. Can bounce back. VORPAL SWORD (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track when she was handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WAKAGIMI (7) finished 11 lengths from the winner in 14th at his most recent appearance over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt after he gave away a big start. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
