GOING:

Open Class Race 2850m

Track:      

ENDYMION (1) returns from a break of two months. Generally goes well when fresh, with seven minor placings from 11 attempts. Kicked off last prep with a sound third in a steeplechase at Kyoto over 3170m. Shapes up nicely - bold showing expected. ZARZARROSA (3) was most recently at the races two months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3290m) at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Sure to make her presence felt. TOULATTATTA (9) returns from a layoff of two months. Added to his solid first-up record last time in work with a minor placing at Kyoto in a 2910m maiden steeplechase. One of the better chances. MONDREISE (8) opened the campaign with a respectable third in a steeplechase (2890m) at this track then last start could only manage seventh in a steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima 28 days ago. Sure to be thereabouts.
