GOING: G

Race 1 1400m

Track: GOOD      

The speedy Cornetto Rosso should find the front with Fuji Fantasista and Blanton Arrow on his heels. CORNETTO ROSSO (10) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut at this track a month ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. GINZA TARGET (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLANTON ARROW (7) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing fifth at his latest appearance at Urawa. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. ELBA (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start at Urawa, finishing fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
