GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

They should run this along with Masano Vision and Alvia taking it up over Solomko. ALVIA (4) registered a strong win at Mizusawa two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fourth over 1400m at Mizusawa, beaten 1.5 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. LIMERICK (9) last appeared seven weeks ago over 1600m at Hanshin. This is his first run for the Koichi Seto stable. One of the better hopes back at this level. SOLOMKO (7) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Mizusawa, finishing 3 lengths from the winner. Credentials hard to fault. BEYOND BORDERS (6) was in the money two starts back at Mizusawa but couldn't back it up last time when sixth. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.
