GOING: G

Race 1 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid tempo from Renovatio kicking up ahead of Japan Heart from out wide. JAPAN HEART (10) is yet to break through after four starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1500m at this track. Hard to beat on his best form and can get off the mark here. KAGAYAKU NEGAI (8) was prominent from the outset when third over 1500m at this track last time out. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. DERE HANDSOME (2) was prominent at the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RENOVATIO (1) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 800m at Urawa, beaten 5 lengths. In the right race and is a key runner.
