GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Falchion and Plover possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. PLOVER (1) produced another strong effort last start over this distance at Morioka Dirt, scoring by one length. That gave him three wins and a placing from four attempts this time in, all at this track. Can strike again. FALCHION (7) faded late last time over 1000m at Morioka Dirt after showing good early speed, eventually finishing fifth. Winner over this longer distance prior. Expected to go close. DERFFLINGER (3) improved last start but found one better over this trip at Morioka Dirt, beaten only a neck. Has his share of ability. Contender. KITANO VALUE (4) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Morioka Dirt two starts back then scored by a head last time out over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Likely to be in the finish again.
