GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

Tsubakuro to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. COASTAL TERRACE (11) turned in an eye-catching run over 1400m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Should go well again. SHKMERULI (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten only 0.7 lengths. Strong prospects. TSUBAKURO (7) has been below best form in two runs so far this campaign, the latest when ninth at this track. Will strip fitter again and can sneak into the finish if finds best. MATSURIDA MASURAO (3) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth last start over 1400m at this track. Worth including.
