GOING:

Race 11 2000m

Track:      

Pace a scorcher, headed by W Heart Bond, Margot Minimo and Awesome Result, closely followed by Zero Hour and Sun Eau Claire. AWESOME RESULT (3) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was narrowly beaten at her only appearance when last in work at Kawasaki over 2100m. Yutaka Take who has scored on her six times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. W HEART BOND (1) returns after a break of 11 weeks. Has won five on end, the latest over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should appreciate the longer journey and is expected to be in the finish again. AMMALIARE (9) travelled in a rearwards position then made a little ground and finished 6 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt when first up from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Sure to feature again against this opposition. SUN EAU CLAIRE (5) has enjoyed a let-up of six weeks since she won when resuming over 1800m at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Has a liking for this trip and cannot be ruled out.
