GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Pace strong with Delta Neutral and Prime Line leading with Ifritia nearby. CRYSTAL WAY (7) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6-length win over 1500m at this track. Should measure up again. KAFUJI UVA (4) registered a strong win here two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when third over 1500m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Key runner. IFRITIA (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 15th over 1800m at Kyoto. Will strip fitter and is capable of sharp improvement at this level. DERMA LA MER (1) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on four consecutive occasions, before finishing sixth last time out over 1400m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Worth considering.
