GOING: G

Race 3 1500m

Track: GOOD      

They should run this along with Garnier and Ivy Blitz taking it up over Mistra. IVY BLITZ (4) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. No reason he cannot salute again. GARNIER (7) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1500m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. MISTRA (5) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1500m, beaten half a length. Winning rider Akira Harita sticks. Should be involved in the finish. WIN GLADNESS (11) improved last start to finish third over 1500m at Urawa. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
