GOING: S

Race 12 1800m

Track: SOFT     True  

Pace genuine with Cloche Noire and Akino Yonagani pressing hard closely followed by Derma Prakrti and Two M Tiger. YAMATAKE KOCHAN (12) finished eighth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1500m at Urawa, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. TWO M TIGER (13) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. CLOCHE NOIRE (14) ran below expectations last time at Urawa, finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at $4. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. MANIK (2) finished 13 lengths adrift in ninth last time over 2000m at Urawa in a disappointing performance. Has her share of ability and can do a lot better.
