GOING:

Race 9 2000m

Track:      

Seiei should spear straight to the front of the small field. SEIEI (4) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1800m at this track. Sho Yoshii who has three wins when partnering stays on. Fitter and a likely improver. HONEY TOAST (7) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1800m on October 9. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. MARUKAN BLOND (3) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only 11th. Gets his chance to atone. FERGUS (5) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fourth over 2000m here last time. Among the chances.
