GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. ROYAL DREAM (2) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when second over 1500m at this track. Winning rider Takahiro Imai sticks. Expecting a bold showing. BRUNO THE BEACH (5) reunites with Tomomori Syotaro after scoring with ease over 1500m at this track last time. Well placed and should be in the finish. SAMMARU FORCE (10) fought on well for second last start over 1500m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Winning rider Soichi Kato stays aboard. Should be involved in the finish. CARIBBEAN DANCER (12) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths at this track over 1700m. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Nicely placed to turn things around.

The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track May 7 over 1500m defeating Festive Nisa with 55kg at $6.
