GOING: G

Race 7 900m

Track: GOOD      

Plenty of early pace with Kotono Sansho and Luce Bianca to vie for the lead, pressured by Taro Shun and Nobo Impact. KOTONO SANSHO (6) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 900m at this track. He's really found form in his recent performances and is building a strong record at this track and trip. Should take plenty of beating once again. NOBO IMPACT (3) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 800m at Urawa, making it two minor placings in a row. Drawn for a good trail just off the pace. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. LUCE BIANCA (2) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fourth last time out over 900m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. TARO SHUN (9) was well beaten last time and finished at the tail at this track but carries less weight today. Better than last start and may well be worth another chance.
