GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Luna Venus and Tsutomu Universe leading the charge. LUNA VENUS (4) met with solid support last start over 1500m at this track when second. Winning rider Soichi Kato stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. TSUTOMU UNIVERSE (2) has switched yards since finishing seventh six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1000m at Niigata. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. ENDLESS CRY (1) improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLUE AMBER (10) could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. No surprise if she figured in the finish.

Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 12 at this track on June 18 over 1500m, 2 len behind Namura Lilac with 57kg at $20.50. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at this track on May 22 over 1500m, 14 len behind Departure carrying 57kg at $4.20. An inside draw is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
