GOING: G

Race 10 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with Viva Acapulco leading the way. VIVA ACAPULCO (9) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 800m at Urawa. Ideally placed to score while fresh. BELLEEK (4) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at today's track and distance last start in a far better run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. LILA SKY (5) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a nose over 1400m at this track. Shaping up nicely and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. NOCTURNAL (11) set the tempo last time out and boxed on to finish a neck from the winner in second at Urawa over 1500m. Masashige Honda has been in the money at the last three rides. Solid claims on best form.
