GOING:

Race 11 1580m

Track:      

Solid pace with Cattleya Nocturne finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. BELLAGIO JUPITER (7) showed good speed over 1400m at this track and led throughout to score. Same winning combination here and is likely to play a major role. WHITE RABBIT (8) is usually thereabouts and was again denied last start when she found one better over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. RIVER STREET (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at Kanazawa, finishing seventh. Won't find this as tough so she is one of the main contenders. GOLD LETTER (5) was out of the money last start over 1700m at Nagoya when seventh. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
