GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace from Famous Doctor and Tsubakuro matching motors with Haruno Impact close at hand. TSUBAKURO (2) finished fifth, beaten 8 lengths, last time out over 1600m at this track. Form here strong boasting five wins from eight starts. Must be respected. HARUNO IMPACT (8) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths fourth over 1400m at this track. Looms large. BY THE WAY (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LORD BALDER (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing 12th at this track over 1400m. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
