GOING: G

Race 2 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid tempo anticipated with Sun Huntsville taking charge. SUN HUNTSVILLE (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Urawa, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1500m after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CANTONA (6) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a third at Urawa two starts back then scored by one length last time out over 1500m at Urawa. Has her share of talent. Right in this. NIJITO TARTE (2) resumed over 1400m at this track last time out and finished second, beaten 7 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from four tries and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Expected to feature. MEGA MILLION (11) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1500m at Urawa most recently. Among the leading chances.
