GOING:

2025 WORLD ALL-STAR JOCKEYS 2ND LEG 2000m

Track: GOOD      

Speed Rich and Clever Taste should roll forward and dictate. FUKUNO BLUE LAKE (14) tackled the Radio Nikkei Sho over 1800m at Fukushima last time out when fresh from a spell and was beaten 7 lengths into 11th by Excite Bio. Finds a suitable assignment and can play a big role. SPEED RICH (3) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 2 lengths over 2600m at this track. Has a solid second-up record and can go on with it. EZO DAIMON (11) settled well back last start and never threatened when 8 lengths from the winner in ninth over 2600m at Listed level at this track. Has the talent to find the winners' list. NAMURA HOOKER (6) ran a better race last start, finishing 2 lengths away in fifth over 2000m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
