GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Sizzling pace from Stern, Yuyu Brot and Star Baron locking horns ahead of Barcarolle and Oden Ciel. STERN (1) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1200m at Funabashi in a tougher race. Will benefit from that experience so she should be in the finish again. STAR BARON (6) is back from a break of ten weeks. Sat on the pace at his only start and held on well for third over 800m at this track. Sure to have improved over the break and is a solid top-three chance. YUYU BROT (5) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 800m at this track. Has ability and must be respected. BARCAROLLE (2) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 800m. Can improve.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd in a small field at Funabashi on May 9 over 1200m, 4 len behind Top Ranker carrying 54kg at $2.60. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
