GOING: S

Race 11 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Solid tempo anticipated with Champagne Fight leading the way. VELARE (5) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from five starts this preparation, finishing 1.5 lengths away in second most recently over 1600m at this track. Great chance to take this out. FALCON SWORD (4) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fourth over 1600m at this track. Among the winning hopes. CHAMPAGNE FIGHT (1) didn't threaten when returning from a break last start over this distance at this track. Has a very strong record this course, scoring at five of six starts. One of the leading contenders. JEUNESSE (2) finished fifth over 1400m at Urawa at her most recent appearance on April 18. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.

Second-up. Comes off a 59-day let-up. First-up after eight months failed to make an impression; 5th of 8 at Funabashi on May 3 over 1600m, 16 len behind Moueix with 56kg at $13.30.
