GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. Not a very strong affair. CHIARA BONHEUR (13) is yet to break through in 42 runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1400m at Urawa on May 29 after she gave away a big start. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (9) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 12 lengths when seventh in a 1500m contest at this track five weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YUYU SOUPLEMENT (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SEIUN PIONEER (6) finished ninth at this track and distance at his last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
