GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Looks to be plenty of pace with Arial Black and Ballsy battling for the lead. LORD FREUDE (1) last appeared five weeks ago over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt when he finished third. This is his first run for the Yuji Uchikoshi stable. Bright prospects. APO (9) last appeared six weeks ago over 1200m at Funabashi when he finished third. This is his first run for the Yuma Kawano stable. Capable of playing a major role. BALLSY (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1300m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. UNWRITTEN RULE (5) made progress last time out, finishing in third over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
