GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Lycka Krona, Edono Tailor and Noble Jack leading the way. NISHINO BRYANT (4) was well-fancied last time out but could only manage second over 1400m eight days ago. Good effort last start and should prove tough to beat. AILES VAGUE (7) is on a quick turnaround after a solid third over 1400m at this track eight days ago. Nice run last time and shapes as a major threat. MEINER HITZE (8) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LYCKA KRONA (5) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at Mizusawa, beaten 13 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Recent form sound. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Mizusawa on April 28 over 1400m, 13 len behind Pallid Carrier with 56kg at $4.90. Before that scored a big 7 len win at Mizusawa April 14 over 1400m defeating Ken Wenzel carrying 56kg at $1.90. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
