GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track: AW      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Mistra and Ivy Blitz leading the charge. IVY BLITZ (12) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 8/02/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MISTRA (2) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win over 1500m at Urawa three weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. CIDADE CACADOR (7) turned in a sub-par run last time out over 2000m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. OBI ONE RYUSEI (3) finished 9 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Should be about the money.
