GOING:

Race 9 2000m

Track:      

Aldhibah and Sadamu Mont Blanc should roll forward and dictate. ALDHIBAH (4) is a boom three-year-old colt yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Far too good last time and is right in contention again. SADAMU MONT BLANC (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1600m at Funabashi. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RYUNO LEGACY (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KAZUCHAN PE (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Fitter and nicely placed to run well again.
