GOING:

Race 12 1800m

Track: AW     True  

View Crest to push forward on the fence and lead a race lacking pace. BE VIVO (6) gave away a considerable start over 1800m at this track last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Will be tough to hold out. VIEW CREST (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 8 lengths away in eighth over 1500m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. GENIE BONITA (2) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1400m at Urawa, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in eighth. Will make his presence felt. B BLUE (8) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1500m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she cannot be underestimated.
