GOING: G

Race 11 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Dream Believer should lead at a strong tempo. SCHLOSS (4) met with solid support last start over 1200m at this track when third. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from six runs. Well placed and should be in the finish. DER FLUG (6) built on a nice third two starts back with a win over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Racing well and rates amongst the dangers. TOKAI ETOILE (2) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1200m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Hard to fault if at his best. DREAM BELIEVER (7) Finished sixth last start over 1200m at this track when resuming. Yamato Ishikawa goes aboard. He can make amends.

The run before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 11 at this track on May 22 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Dodo Kirishima carrying 56kg at $3.70. Faces a tough assignment.
