GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Canna Lily and Red Rex to take up the running at a strong tempo. RED REX (7) met with solid support last start over 1600m at this track when third. Tsutsui Yusuke stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. A SHIN KOSONTE (3) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sure to go well again. NARITA BLADE (2) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track to make it two in a row. Should measure up again. TRUE GRIT (4) knuckled down strongly to get within one length of the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Solid claims on best form.
