GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Garcon Manque to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. IMMORTAL WIND (10) is flying having turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this track and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take the next step. HONEYBERRY (8) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1200m at this track last time. Has a solid record here over this journey. Should be in finish. GARCON MANQUE (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last time then tired over the final stages. Scored an all-the-way win prior so is worth another chance. BENDYUGA (1) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths. Among the chances.

Useful type. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on May 29 over 1200m, 2 len behind Mana Koa with 57kg at $41.20. Before that ran last of 12 at Urawa on April 21 over 1500m, 22 len behind Umbrella Dance carrying 56kg at $8. Won’t spend a cent in the run from the inside stall. Good each-way hope.
