PARADISE STAKES PRESENTED BY WOODBINE R.C.(L) 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace with Meisho Titan pushing forward along with Lumiere Noire from an outside gate. Grade 1 placegetter LOGI LEON (13) clocked-in third behind Jantar Mantar last time out in the G1 NHK Mile Cup at this track over 1600m. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in four starts, including two wins and two placings. Among the leading chances. LUMIERE NOIRE (12) lifted strongly to score by a neck two runs back at this track then ran fifth over 1400m in the G2 Keio Hai Spring Cup here last time in tougher grade. Will prove tough to beat. Grade 2 winner STRAUSS (9) finished 16th, beaten 10 lengths, last time out over 1600m in the G1 NHK Mile Cup at this venue. Has a very good record here including two wins from four starts. Should be competitive. Grade 2 winner SING THAT SONG (11) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when third over 1400m in Listed grade at Kyoto. Deserves to break through and has solid claims.
