GOING: S

Race 2 1000m

Track: SOFT      

Silver Komkom has good gate speed and likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. SILVER KOMKOM (1) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 1500m at Nagoya. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Among the leading chances. EIDAI FALCON (2) is on debut for the Hiroyuki Oguni stable. Three-year-old filly by Smart Falcon from D's Effort. Drawn nicely which is a big tick. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. PRETTY PERLE (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when eighth in a 920m contest at Nagoya three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SLAPSTICK (6) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at this track over 1100m back on July 3. Improver who can feature in the finish.
