GOING:

Race 9 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Satono Rendezvous to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. NICE DESUNE (3) is a distance specialist who turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at Saga after being prominent at the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. JUNE COMET (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and never got into the race fifth in a 1400m contest at Himeji two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. SATONO RENDEZVOUS (2) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 820m at this track four-and-a-half months ago and has not raced since. Sure to play a major role. MISTRAL PINK (7) recorded a minor placing two starts ago at this track then couldn't handle better opposition last time when ninth over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 34 lengths. Likely improver.
