GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Tochino Homare, Verdade and Namura Rucola leading the way. VERDADE (7) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a fifth over 1800m at Kokura. Should be in the finish fresh. TOCHINO HOMARE (1) racing well. Finished third last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance and can feature. NAMURA DARYL (5) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when second over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. INFINI WRAITH (9) missed the placings when seventh over 1600m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth including.
