GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. JARDIN DU ROI (11) has recently been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a third over 1200m at this track. Another big run is likely. BEQUEST (5) turned in a better effort to finish third last start, beaten 1.1 lengths over 1300m at Urawa. Backmarker who gets home hard. Best form puts him right in this. DIVINE WILL (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at Kawasaki. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. TSUKUBA APPLAUSE (4) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn before tiring to finish fourth over 1200m at this track last time out. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
