GOING:

Race 2 900m

Track:      

Slick tempo with Never End March to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. NEVER END MARCH (9) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 800m at Urawa, making it two minor placings in as many runs since a spell. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Race fit now now so looks hard to beat in this suitable race. SINCERE BEAUTY (1) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five-and-a-half months, finishing the last campaign with a minor placing over 900m at this track. Has placed in both fresh attempts. Rates highly. SUONO (11) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 900m at this track last time. Tricky draw but has the speed to lead and has definite claims. LOUGHNASHADE (6) finished 2.25 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance to follow a fresh placing. Go well.
