GOING: G

Race 7 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Foggara has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. RHEIN STRYKER (10) finished second first-up here then couldn't repeat the dose last time out when fourth at this track over 1400m. Terrific chance to return to form. FOGGARA (12) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track. Can spear across from the awkward gate. Solid record at this distance with five wins and one placing from nine runs and shapes as a key contender. YUKIMATSURI (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 7 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much-improved run. Finds another suitable race and can figure in the finish. BAJIGAKU CHANCE (11) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Kawasaki. Solid top-three prospects.
