GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Obli My Love leading the way. BACK SCREEN (7) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was 16th over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can measure up. CHURA WAVE (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 800m at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. In the mix. WACHSTUM (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1300m. Can measure up again. UTAMARO (10) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1300m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
