GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Special Sunday. MITEKURE KONO ASHI (8) showed good speed here last time over 1400m and led into the straight before being claimed and fading to finish fifth. Finds the right race and is expected to go close. NAMURA PEARL (7) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1400m at this track. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Expected to go very well. METCHA HATTORI (4) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Strong prospects. JUNE SURRENDER (3) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track in a disappointing run. No surprise to see him in the frame in this suitable assignment.
