GOING: S

Race 3 1500m

Track: SOFT     True  

Should be a genuine pace with Heroic Bio booting up from the rails draw inside Monreale and Arcelia. MONREALE (12) won first up at this track then finished third last time out over 1500m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. The third-up record is strong so he looks the testing material. B B DAIGO (5) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LAS JUN (10) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 6 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a far better run. Can go right on with it. ARCELIA (3) finished ninth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 3 lengths. Another forward showing is anticipated.
