GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

From the wide gate World Battle can cross and lead a race without a great deal of pace on paper. WORLD BATTLE (11) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when prominent at the bend before finishing fifth over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. FRUITS PARFAIT (1) did well last time to finish second over 1200m at Funabashi. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Expected to run well. PARADISE BEAT (12) finished 7 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1200m at Funabashi two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. KASUKANA NOZOMI (10) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths. Should run well.

Comes here off a 47-day let-up. Last start eased back early on 5th of 9 at this track on May 29 over 1500m, 9 len behind Takaichi Nadal carrying 56kg at $3.90. The start before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 13 at Funabashi on May 5 over 1500m, 2 len behind Jesco carrying 56kg at $16.80. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
