GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

From the wide draw Bear Way To Go can cross and set the tempo in a race without genuine pace. BEAR WAY TO GO (11) lines up for the hat-trick after a strong win last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Top chance once again. BRAVE SOUND (3) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at Urawa, finishing 7 lengths back in sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LIL FROST (4) disappointed fresh but will improve with a run under the belt. Taito Mori sticking is a positive. MERIZO (1) finished out of the money two starts back then she got a long way back here five weeks ago. Likely improver with solid prospects.
