GOING: S

Race 10 1000m

Track: SOFT      

Good early pace from Hakusan Kraken, Vichyssoise and Tyndall Nine going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. TYNDALL NINE (1) finished second over 800m at Urawa last time out following a determined win when fresh from a spell two runs back. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. VICHYSSOISE (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1200m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. NATSU ICHIBAN (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1400m at Urawa. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in and is expected to do much better. HAKUSAN KRAKEN (8) has been kept fresh since finishing eighth over 1000m at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Should give backers a sight.
