GOING: G

Race 12 2000m

Track: GOOD     True  

Sun Boulder to roll forward and dictate terms. SPRING NEIGE (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $4.60. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. NISHINO MESSIAH (11) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 2000m after being in contention on the corner. Ready to go one better. SUN BOULDER (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 2000m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. JUST THE VALSE (8) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.75 lengths away in fourth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Each way hope.
