GOING: S

Race 1 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Brainstorm may lead the way over Caramel Tart. CARAMEL TART (1) was prominent into the straight last time but faltered late to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. RIKEA VIOLET (4) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 15th over 1800m at Tokyo. Finds an easier assignment and is a winning hope. BRAINSTORM (9) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when a neck from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Ready to make his presence felt. BEAR BEE (5) has switched yards since finishing fifth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1500m at Kanazawa.
