GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Dread Status leading Vehement Blast. DREAD STATUS (5) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. VEHEMENT BLAST (6) is still a maiden after 16 runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. VERONIQUE (3) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 12 lengths into sixth over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. BRAVO KIRISHIMA (4) is back after a break of five months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1300m at Kochi. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
