Verdict

WIN PRIMUS (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 7f at this track last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. BELLEEK (1) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by one length over 7f at this track. Naoki Machida scored on him last time and retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SHONAN MANTEN (4) produced a reasonable effort when fifth last start after being in contention on the corner over 7f at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Won't find this as tough so she is a leading player. FONG ROSA (7) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 01/05/2025, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 1m at Ohi. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Yoichi Tanabe. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
