Verdict

HOYO MOON (11) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Yutaka Nagatomo. Finished 16th at Chukyo over 7f at the opening run last time in work. Well-placed and sure to feature. ICHIGO WHIP (10) showed early speed from an outside draw last time out and led for much of the way before finding one better at the end of 7 ½f at Urawa. Takes catching. TAISEI LE CIEL (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 7 ½f. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SCHWEIGEN (14) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 7 ½f at this track, finishing third and beaten 0.7 lengths. Should take beating.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Objection

Claim of foul lodged by a jockey for perceived dangerous or illegal riding by a rival.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.
