|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Abflug, Bakuretsu Maho and Izu Jo Dream paving the way. AGNES RYU (5) was well beaten when sixth most recently over 1230m at Sonoda after a win two starts ago. Has the advantage of an ideal gate and expected to be competitive here. OUTER SPACE (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 800m at this track. Well placed and in the mix. IZU JO DREAM (3) finished out of the money when fourth in an 820m contest at Sonoda five-and-a-half weeks ago. Capable of sharp improvement. BAKURETSU MAHO (4) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back.
