GOING: G

Race 6 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Dawn Express leading the way. DECENTRALIZE (9) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. SNOWSHOE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. DAWN EXPRESS (8) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. KEN ATLAS (11) kicked off this campaign with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 5 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
