GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Cresco Thunder should find the front with First Rickey and Ise Bay on his heels. FIRST RICKEY (8) was successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by 1.75 lengths to make it three wins on the trot. Winning rider Tomohiro Yoshimura retains the mount. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YOSHINO TARUMAE (9) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Has a sound record here with eight wins and four minor placings from 22 starts. Ideally placed to score. ISE BAY (7) is a consistent performer with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Was prominent throughout and finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CRESCO THUNDER (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
