GOING: G

Race 10 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid tempo with Foresighted to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SHIGERU OTOKOGI (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Seiji Yamazaki who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. JO ILMUR (2) finished second at Urawa two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at Urawa, finishing 4.5 lengths back in sixth after being in contention on the bend. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is sure to be prominent. ART OF LIFE (1) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a neck over 1400m at this track to make it two in a row. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has four wins when partnering stays on. Sure to be competitive. HELL SHAKE (9) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 2.25 lengths. This is the right race and can find winning form.
