GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Taisei Spurt to take up the running with Quite Possible and Mermaid Song close at hand. QUITE POSSIBLE (2) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has a decent record at this track with a win and two minor placings and rates a leading contender. TAISEI SPURT (7) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at Urawa, getting the prize by half a length. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. MERMAID SONG (11) last start finished sixth at Urawa over 1400m. Placed to advantage and can make amends. TO WIN (8) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this venue, beaten 5.5 lengths. Fitter for that run and is a likely improver with top-three claims again.
