Race 9 1500m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of early pressure with Links Elpis, Grand Muteki and Raipachi leading the charge. RAIPACHI (5) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths at Urawa over today's trip. He's won 2/3 at this course and distance and he's likely to be prominent in the run once again. Looks very tough to beat. SUN GRADATION (12) started at $4.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths at this track over 1500m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FAIRE DES REVE (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when sixth in a 1500m contest at this track five weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. LINKS ELPIS (2) fought on for third last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
