GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Moulin Alezan and Lemon Aika matching motors. BATTLE HOPPER (3) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1500m at Urawa, finishing second and beaten half a length after being prominent at the corner. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. GLACE A LA VANILLE (5) ran a bold race over this journey when resuming last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 1.2 lengths away in third at Urawa. Has the ability to take this out. ANGELICAL (4) was disappointing over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Nicely placed to turn things around. MOULIN ALEZAN (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
