GOING:

Race 8 1750m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with A Shin Zeta and T M Daitaka ahead of Hatenabito and Satono Alive. T M DAITAKA (9) made it three victories in a row last start when he scored in style over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Winning rider Shinsuke Ishikawa retains the mount. Tries this distance for the first time but is unbeaten here. HATENABITO (3) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1700m at Sonoda. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FINAL SWORD (5) is close to a win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 1800m at this track. SATONO ALIVE (6) was racing consistently before last attempt so is worth another chance.
