GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. MORIKEN (1) is a boom two-year-old colt yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by one length over 1200m at this track. Impossible to knock the form and will go well again. TOP OF TOP (3) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he will prove tough to beat. LA MON PANTHER (4) finished 5.5 lengths away in third last time out at Urawa. On a five-day back-up. Nice run last time and should feature. RYUNO KING (5) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths over 1000m at this track. Has upside and must be respected.
1 11 MORIKEN
SATOSHI SAITO
2YO  DK B  COLT 55.0KG

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, won by 1.0 len at this track May 8 over 1000m defeating Happy Face with 54kg at $4.40. Last start won by 1.0 len at this track June 2 over 1200m defeating Happy Face carrying 54kg at $3. This race is well within his grasp.

Most recently ran second last of 7 at Urawa on June 23 over 1400m, 38 len behind Ken Sirius carrying 54kg at $28.60. The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 12 at this track on June 2 over 1200m, 38 len behind Moriken carrying 54kg at $4.90. Prefer to watch at this stage.
