GOING: G

Race 4 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Slick tempo with Your Sora to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. YOUR SORA (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 5 lengths at this track. Boasts five wins here. Mai Fukuhara who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Sure to run well. ICHIGO WHIP (2) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at Kawasaki after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has the ability to find the winners' list. SKY PERFECT (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Kawasaki over 1500m. Has the class to return to the winners' list. WILD DUNK (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 12th over 2000m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player.
