GOING: S

Race 9 1400m

Track: AW      

From the wide stall Churat should cross and lead. CHURAT (12) lines up for the first time since September 25. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Comes here with definite claims. FUBUKI (7) was just out of the money two runs back then again just missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Best figures measure up nicely and is sure to run well. STOIC NOAH (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m here, beaten 6 lengths. Has been in the money at each second up start. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. A SHIN ZODIAC (10) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1500m at this course on September 23. Definite top-three chance.
