GOING:

Race 3 900m

Track: AW      

Pace looks to be genuine with Ravomi and Gold Saika matching motors in advance of Intense Drive and Maruhiro Utopia. RAVOMI (11) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 900m at this track at the latest appearance five weeks ago. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Leading contender. GOLD SAIKA (7) was quickly into stride over 900m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. IRON PITCH (8) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Produced another good effort last start when second over 800m at Urawa. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. INTENSE DRIVE (9) was easily accounted for when fourth last start over 900m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. Well placed and can make amends.
