GOING: S

Race 3 1500m

Track: SOFT     Rail: True.  

Isa Chil Itomusubi has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. YOU ROCK DUDE (4) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a ninth at this track two starts back then got the job done by one length last time out after being prominent at the turn over 1500m at Urawa. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. ISA CHIL ITOMUSUBI (9) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Urawa. Fitter so expect a better run this time. GIAVANNA (6) is a 10-start maiden who finished ninth at her most recent outing over 1500m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. DUBTHACH (1) is a five-year-old entire who is still a maiden after 17 starts but has been in the placings four times. Safely held when resuming last start over 1500m at this track, finishing tenth and beaten 10 lengths. Should run well.
