GOING: S

Race 2 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine tempo with Quite Possible to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. QUITE POSSIBLE (9) was far from disgraced when second last start after being prominent at the bend over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. SYMBOL THE SUN (3) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1400m at this track. Strong chance again. TAISEI SPURT (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Urawa. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VERMOGEN (10) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
