GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by June Surrender and Vehement Blast. PIKAPIKA PIROKO (9) finished seventh last time out over 2000m at this track. Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Must be respected. JUNE SURRENDER (2) finished out of the money when ninth in a 1500m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PEDUNCLE ARCH (6) finished third here two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in tenth. Tatsuya Nakajima gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Nicely placed to bounce back. VEHEMENT BLAST (5) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
