Verdict

MARI FACE (4) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 6f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. DOJIKKO (7) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten only a head after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TOYAMANO GOLD (5) finished third last start over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TIME PRINCE (6) finished 7 lengths away in fourth at his last appearance over 7f at Urawa on March 19. This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.
