GOING: G

Race 9 2000m

Track: GOOD      

King Bullseyes and Yuyu Presence to take up the running at a strong tempo. KING BULLSEYES (9) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep ten weeks ago when he scored by 3 lengths. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has five wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. BEL ROUTE (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten only half a length. Key runner. YUYU PRESENCE (12) went forward over 2000m at this track last time but found one better. Yoichiro Muro has been in the money at the last four rides. Should be involved in the finish. PEACE SHINY (1) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when seventh over 2000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
