GOING: S

Race 9 2000m

Track: SOFT     True  

Little early pressure with Kujira, Cocoli Island and Soyamisaki prominent. COCOLI ISLAND (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 9 lengths over 1600m at Funabashi. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to turn things around. KUJIRA (8) ran below expectations last time at Funabashi, finishing seventh and beaten 19 lengths starting at $2.20. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. SOYAMISAKI (10) was below her best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 35 lengths over 2000m at this track. Top jockey Taito Mori booked, look for improvement. ROSE STIER (3) made progress last time out, finishing 30 lengths from the winner in second over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.
