GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Slick tempo assured from Monter Jewel and Six Letter leading the charge. MONTER JEWEL (8) went forward last start over 900m at Kawasaki and held on well for third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SIX LETTER (6) was quickly into stride from the rails draw last start but emptied late to finish tenth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. NARITA AMBITION (3) finished third last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 33 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. NATSU HAYATE (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 9 lengths away in third over 1400m at Kawasaki. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
