GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Bellagio Dream heading them off. BELLAGIO DREAM (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 5 lengths on his rivals. F Komaki who has five wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. ALPHA INDI (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. SHANA O (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Wataru Hirose gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. In the mix. SOOT (2) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing a head from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Among the fringe chances.
