GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Chobonaino has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. CHOBONAINO (8) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 6 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VINA DA LAT (1) sat on the pace last time and recorded the second minor placing from as many runs this prep, finishing 30 lengths back in third over 1400m at this track. Fitter and should be in the finish again. ARMA JACK (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $7.90. Likely improver with strong prospects. VENOM (5) was beaten 11 lengths into seventh over 2000m at Kawasaki at his latest appearance. The engagement of Masayoshi Aoyagi is a positive move. Capable of featuring prominently.
