GOING: G

Race 3 1400m

Track: GOOD      

A keen early contest likely with Dona Noble and Anacapri pushing for the lead with Bergen Heart and Chian Classico on their backs. RYUNO BADEN (12) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten a neck into second over 1400m at Urawa. Rates highly off that effort and looks set to play a major role. ANACAPRI (1) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. DONA NOBLE (11) turned in a nice run when fresh from a spell two starts back at Funabashi then missed the placings last time when eighth over 1200m at Funabashi. Rates highly and is right in the mix. ARC PREMIER (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when finishing well back over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
