GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Not In The Eye to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. FERVOR RUSH (11) really dug deep to salute by 5 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Akira Harita who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Likely to feature. NOT IN THE EYE (4) is a progressive four-year-old filly who resumes from a break of six-and-a-half months, her last appearance being a win over 1200m at this track. Expected to be in the finish. KELLY DRAGON (8) settled well back from a good draw last time before running on solidly to finish fifth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Warrants plenty of respect. STRAIGHT DANDY (5) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track four months ago. A bright return is expected.
