GOING:

KOREMASA STAKES 2100m

Track: YIELDING      

A keen pace battle assured Grover Tesoro prominent, joined by Proud Heritage and Amoureux De Paris. AMOUREUX DE PARIS (4) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Comes here with definite claims. IDEA IGOSSO (9) was an effortless winner last time over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, scoring by 6 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. VIP SCORPION (13) wound up strongly last time at the end of 2000m at Hanshin Dirt to finish second, 0.8 lengths from the winner. M Demuro sticks. One of the main contenders. BLESS WORD (3) scored last start at Nakayama Dirt to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.
