GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Shonan Douglas leading the way. SHONAN DOUGLAS (1) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time. POLICE VEHICLE (9) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when 11th over 1400m at this track. Has further improvement to come and is among the main hopes. T M DENSETSU (6) last appeared five weeks ago over 2970m at Hanshin when he finished tenth. This is his first run for the Hirohide Hirayama stable. Can measure up for the new barn. DAIMEI HEROINE (4) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when tenth. Top-three prospects.
