GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Fumi Florence probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. MOON BRIDGE (3) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1400m after being in the firing line on the bend. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. FUMI FLORENCE (7) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Best figures measure up and don’t dismiss lightly. VULCANUS (9) ran a better race and finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. BACK SHOOT (2) has not raced since his debut over 1400m at this track when he finished fourth. Reunites with Shingo Oyama and should be primed for this.
