GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Sol De Verano heading them off. ORCHESTRA (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Mizusawa two starts back then scored by 7 lengths as public elect last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa. Masatoshi Yamamoto scored on him last time and retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. ON THE SKY (10) was well in commission last start over 1300m at Mizusawa when third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Ryo Takamatsu who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. KITANO ZOONAQUA (11) is a last-start winner over 1400m at Mizusawa, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a neck. Solid prospects again. SOL DE VERANO (5) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1600m at Mizusawa last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Deserves respect on best figures.
