GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Chrome Wolf should find the front with Asa and Tombo on his heels. TSUKASA REVS (2) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 0.7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be taken lightly. TOMBO (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 1600m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Worth noting Tsubasa Sasagawa goes aboard. Has the ability to produce a better result. SAUDADE (7) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when 14th over 2880m at Nakayama. Expected to feature back in this class. RAVE ON (9) finished second at Funabashi two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 14 lengths back in tenth. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
