GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Bratty Kid from his low draw. BRATTY KID (3) has four wins and one placing from five starts this preparation. Found one better last start at this track over 1300m after being handy all the way. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. IL CUORE (9) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Mamoru Tanaka. Finished 15th at Hakodate over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MISS PHANTOM (5) settled well back last start and never threatened when 10 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1400m at Kawasaki. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is one of the main contenders. NEO TRUE (1) finished fourth last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has a win and a placing from four starts at this track and distance. Credentials hard to knock.
