GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo set by Mozu Life Saver and Metus. METUS (12) has Taichi Nagamori going aboard after he was well held last time out in fifth over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. MOZU LIFE SAVER (9) finished fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. NAVARONE (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 5 when beaten 8 lengths into ninth at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. BRAVE TRY (4) was beaten 9 lengths into tenth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
