GOING: G

Race 2 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Moderate tempo with Natsu Hayate leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. NATSU HAYATE (6) rolled forward last time out and boxed on to finish a head from the winner in second at Urawa over 1400m. Proving a good combination with Kenji Okamura with five straight placings. Should be in the finish. SIENA TITICACA (11) is yet to break through in 48 runs. Finished fifth after being in contention on the bend at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 3. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. YAGIRI EPIPHA KUN (5) is on a quick turnaround after a solid third over 1200m at Funabashi seven days ago. Nice run last time and has solid top-three prospects. RAINBOW COLOR (12) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at Urawa at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
