GOING: S

Race 9 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Solid tempo with Forsta Klass, Taruma Fight and Keiai Capella going hard, closely attended by Bright Color. KEIAI CAPELLA (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. Z SWORD (4) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest finishing a 1.4 lengths fourth at this track. Expected to go close on best form. BRIGHT COLOR (2) finished fifth last start over 1200m at this track in an improved run. Looks well placed and expect a big run this time. CONTI TOHOKU (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. Worth noting Takami Riku goes aboard. Can turn things around.
