GOING: G

Race 3 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Fast tempo likely from K T Yui going forward from out wide, with Monter Jewel joining in. FRUITS PARFAIT (11) was quickly into stride over 1500m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 0.8 lengths. Has to overcome a tricky draw. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SEOJOON (1) comes here off a break of six months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Has found a suitable race. TIMELESS BLOOM (5) finished sixth, beaten 2 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Better than the latest run suggests and can improve sharply. MONTER JEWEL (3) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. The engagement of Yuki Yamanaka is noteworthy. This is a suitable assignment and can get the job done.
