GOING:

Race 9 900m

Track: AW      

Strong tempo assured from Nobo Versailles and Shinano Smile leading the charge. HAHNDORF (8) is a talented type who recently returned from a break and made it three straight wins, scoring by 2 lengths over 900m at this track. Same track and trip and looks tough to beat again. DRESSED TO KILL (4) has had two runs since a break, the latest a third over 800m at Urawa, beaten 3 lengths. Has a strong record at the third run in so he is among the winning hopes. LIVE AMEDEO (7) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. DERE RAPTOR (9) resumes in a similar race to his last run three-and-a-half months ago when sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
