GOING: S

Race 12 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Plenty of pace from Zinger, Hujum and Daigo Homare Ryu primarily. HUJUM (11) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on March 6 over 1500m when he scored by 2.5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. DAIGO HOMARE RYU (3) finished fourth two runs back at Funabashi then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as public elect over 1500m at Urawa. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. ZINGER (1) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1500m, finishing fourth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. ROUGE MAAT (7) ran below expectations last time at Urawa, finishing tenth and beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 9 at this track on March 2 over 1500m, 2.25 len behind Meisho Matilda carrying 56kg at $1.50. The run before that favourite; won by 7 len at this track February 5 over 1500m defeating Akane Seiko with 56kg at $1.60. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
