GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Blue Radical leading Heavenly Goal. HEAVENLY GOAL (7) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at Kasamatsu at the previous outing. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MARRON LUPINUS (8) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Among the leading chances. BLUE RADICAL (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths starting at $3. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ABSOLUTE (1) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Has to be respected.
