GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Caro Avanti to take up the running with Lala Belle De Nuit and Bud Rosy close at hand. HAPPY MONSTER (3) has been in fine form this prep, scoring last start over this track and trip to notch two wins from four runs. Daichi Matsuki, who has ridden him to two victories already, keeps the ride. Expect him to be prominent. GALANT (2) rarely wins but ran a solid third here last time and looks suited by this contest. Can play a big role. NOBLE FESTA (6) showed improvement last start, chasing the pace before finishing behind one rival. Well placed and can strike. NARITA SERENO (5) has struggled for a while but his best figures here are competitive. Can bounce back and threaten.
