GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Koyukichan to take charge ahead of Kitano Hikoboshi at a good tempo. RYUJIMMARU (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 30 lengths over 1400m at this track. Major player. G T LULLABY (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 4 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Expected to take some stopping again. MARIENPLATZ (7) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track. Drifted back on that occasion then stoked up impressively to score by 2 lengths. Likely to feature again. KOYUKICHAN (4) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
