GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Sun Glaukopis and Astral Flare leading the way. ASTRAL FLARE (5) was well fancied last start over 920m at this track when fourth. Worth another chance. CARILLON BELL (6) finished sixth at her last appearance over 920m at this track on May 23. Among the top chances in what looks like a suitable race. G T BRIGHT (8) finished sixth last start over 1500m at this track, an improvement on his first-up 16th at Fukushima the run before. Can measure up with the right run. SUN GLAUKOPIS (2) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish eighth over 1200m at Ohi. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
